This is a satirical colored print depicting a scene with historical and political undertones. There are two caricatured figures lying in cradles labeled "IMPERIAL CRADLE" on either side of a central figure seated on a stool. The figure on the left cradle is labeled "THE PRINCE OF AUSTURIAS," while the one on the right is inscribed "THE GOOD OLD KING & HIS AMIABLE CONSORT." The central figure is dressed in a military uniform with adorned shoulder epaulettes and is sitting in between the cradles, arms outstretched towards them, as if to comfort or attend to the figures lying in the cradles.

Above the central figure, there is a banner with the text "Hush a bye—Hush a bye—you shall have your crowns again—but I don't know when!" which suggests a tone of promise or reassurance, albeit uncertain. The bottom of the image includes the caption "THE CORSICAN NURSE SOOTHING. THE INFANT'S OF SPAIN," which implies a narrative of political caretaking or manipulation, likely referencing Napoleon's influence over Spain during his era. The scene's exaggerated features and the detailed costuming of the figures allude to the period-specific dress and attitudes, echoing the artistic styles of political cartoons from the early 19th century. The image was published on July 12, 1808, by an entity identified as "J. Asperne 32 Cornhill."

This is a political cartoon from 1808 titled "The Corsican Nurse Soothing the Infants of Spain." It shows a military figure in a distinctive bicorn hat with blue and red feathers, wearing a military uniform with blue coat and orange details, acting as a nurse to two sleeping figures in cradles labeled "Imperial Cradle."

The cradles are labeled with titles - one for "Prince of Asturias" and the other for "The Good Old King and his Amiable Consort."

Certainly! Here's a description of the image:

Overall Impression:

The image is a satirical political cartoon from 1808, likely published in England. It depicts Napoleon Bonaparte as a "nurse" caring for the royal family of Spain. The style is typical of caricatures from that period, using exaggeration and symbolism to convey its message.

Key Elements and Their Symbolic Meanings:

• Napoleon Bonaparte: Represented as a figure wearing a Napoleonic hat, holding two infants, he is the central figure.
• The Infants: Identified by the names "Antonio" and "Carlos" and also by the labels "Prince of Austurias" representing the Spanish royalty.
• Cradles: There are three "cradles" in the image.
  • The cradles are labeled "Imperial Cradle" and one includes "The Good Old King and his Amiable Consort" representing the king and queen of Spain.
• Speech Bubble: The speech bubble above Napoleon's head says, "Hush a bye-Hush a bye-you shall have your crowns again - but I don't know when!"
• Text at the bottom: Reads "THE CORSICAN NURSE SOOTHING THE INFANTS OF SPAIN"

Interpretation:

The cartoon criticizes Napoleon's intervention in Spanish affairs. The "Corsican nurse" is clearly a mocking portrayal of Napoleon, who is "soothing" (i.e., controlling and manipulating) the royal family of Spain. The speech bubble suggests a promise of restoring the Spanish monarchy but with an uncertain outcome.

Artistic Style:

The image uses caricaturization to emphasize the personalities and events it depicts. The artist uses exaggeration and visual metaphors to create humor and convey a political message.

The image is a satirical political cartoon titled "The Corsican Nurse Soothing the Infants of Spain." It was published on July 12, 1808, by H. Humphrey. The cartoon depicts a man in a military uniform with a large bicorne hat adorned with feathers, who is identified as the "Corsican Nurse." This is a reference to Napoleon Bonaparte, who was born on the island of Corsica.

In the cartoon, Napoleon is shown soothing two infants in cradles. The cradle on the left is labeled "Prince of Austurias" and contains a baby with a label "Imperial Cradle" on the bedding. The cradle on the right is labeled "The Good Old King and his Amiable Consort" and also has an "Imperial Cradle" label.

Two other individuals, labeled "Carlos" and "Ferdinand," are shown as babies being held by the nurse. These names refer to members of the Spanish royal family, likely Charles IV and his son Ferdinand VII, who were involved in the political turmoil of Spain during the Napoleonic Wars.

The speech bubble at the top reads, "Hush a bye—Hush a bye—you shall have your crowns again—but I don't know when!" This suggests Napoleon's manipulative and controlling influence over the Spanish royal family, implying that he is pacifying them with empty promises.

Overall, the cartoon is a critique of Napoleon's intervention in Spanish affairs, portraying him as a manipulative figure who is temporarily placating the Spanish royals while maintaining control over them.
