A description of the costly and curious military carriage of the late Emperor of France: taken on the evening of the battle of Waterloo; with its superb and curious contents, as purchased by government, and now exhibiting (by permission) at the London Museum, Piccadilly; with the circumstances of the capture, accurately described by Major Baron von Keller, by whom it was taken and brought to England
Revised edition, London: printed for William Bullock, 1818
8460.d.165(2), folding plate opposite title page

Bullock’s pamphlet was reissued in 1818, with a new frontispiece. The stock components of depictions of the carriage’s capture—the up-thrown arm of the sabred coachman and the bare-headed Emperor—are present, with the additional detail of other vehicles in the background, hinting at the congestion at Genappe which enabled the Prussians to overtake Napoleon. On the left a fusilier is shown bayonetting one of the leading horses; scenes of the deliberate harming of animals (as distinct from their suffering as an unfortunate but inevitable consequence of war) are uncommon in the imagery of the Waterloo campaign.
