介绍（中）	伍德沃德和罗兰森在这里用一个消费的比喻来展示拿破仑最强大的一面。1808年7月，法国军队完成了对西班牙的入侵。皇帝著名的侧影和羽毛双角帽被附在一只肥胖的蜘蛛身上，上面写着"无限的野心"。蜘蛛皇帝坐在一张大网的中心，准备吃掉两只代表国王查理四世和他的儿子斐迪南的西班牙苍蝇，这两只苍蝇都被迫退位，为拿破仑的兄弟约瑟夫·波拿巴扫清了王位。其他被缠绕的苍蝇被贴上了"奥地利"、"荷兰"、"汉诺威"、"普鲁士"和"意大利"的标签，现在每个都是法国的傀儡国家。葡萄牙有可能成为下一个衰落的国家，它在最外围挣扎。俄罗斯苍蝇和教皇苍蝇被轻轻抓住，并表达了释放自己的希望。只有戴着珠宝头巾的土耳其苍蝇和戴着约翰·布尔头像的英国苍蝇仍然躲避着蜘蛛的追捕。
介绍（英）	Woodward and Rowlandson here use a metaphor of consumption to present Napoleon at his most powerful. In July 1808, French armies completed their invasion of Spain. The emperor’s well-known profile and plumed bicorne hat are appended to a fat spider’s body inscribed "Unbounded Ambition." Sitting at the center of a large web, the spider-emperor prepares to eat two Spanish flies representing King Charles IV and his son Ferdinand, both forced to abdicate to clear the throne for Napoleon’s brother, Joseph Bonaparte. Other entangled flies are labeled "Austria," "Holland," "Hanover," "Prussia" and "Italy," each now a French puppet state. Portugal, in danger of being the next to fall, struggles along the outermost strand. The Russian fly and the Pope fly are lightly caught and express hopes of freeing themselves. Only the Turkish fly, in a jeweled turban, and the British fly, wearing the head of John-Bull, still evade the spider’s grasp.
