On April 3 1814, Thomas Rowlandson’s cartoon “Boney forsaken by his Guardian Angel ” is published.
As the Devil snatches his crown, Napoleon cries: “My Guardian Angel—my Protector, do not desert me in the hour of Danger.”
“Poh! Poh! you cannot expect to reign for ever, besides I want you at home to teach some of the young imps wickedness,” the Devil replies.
