Légende

'A hint for another Statue - or, a Sketch of a Modern Weather Cock', 1804. William Windham standing on a whirligig. On each side of his pedestal stands a (contrasted) volunteer. In the background, across the Channel, a little Napoleon gesticulates, flourishes his sabre. Behind him, massed tents stretch along the French coast.
