The Plumb-pudding in danger, or, State epicures taking and petit souper. The great Globe itself and all that inherit [sic], is too small to satisfy such insatiable appetites.
SUMMARY: William Pitt, wearing a regimental uniform and hat, sitting at a table with Napoleon. They are each carving a large plum pudding on which is a map of the world. Pitt's slice is considerably larger than Napoleon's.
By British caricaturist James Gillray. Etching, hand-colored.
