Description

In this image Charles XIV Johan Bernadotte of Sweden, Michael Woronzoff of Russia and Marshal Blücher of Prussia try to shove Napoleon I of France into the 'Allied Oven'. On the other side Francis I emperor of Austria feigns opening the door, while actually preventing the dish from going in. This leads to impatient reactions of the other commanders. The weathervane on the emperors hat symbolizes his indecisiveness. On the right the Duke of Wellington approaches with more cakes that need to be baked. One of the cakes holds the French tricolore and two spurred jack-boots, the other cake contains the city of Bordeaux. In front of the oven sits a Dutchman holding a pair of bellows, which he does not use.

With this image Cruikshank takes a theme from his great inspiration James Gillray, who created a similar scene in 1806 with a totally different distribution of roles: Tiddy Doll, the great French-Gingerbread-Baker; drawing out a new Batch of Kings.
