Mssr Rat you missed the caption. Here it is
'Having completed his conquest of Britain the emperor relaxed in his rocking chair while he admired the new hotel des invalides ‘le Britian’ he had built to replace Buckingham palace.
The British guardsman now in the service of France kept a close eye on the rats who had left the sinking ship previously known as Hanover and now known as Hanovre now one of the numerous and prosperous 'rat free' provinces of the glorious empire of France.
The Rat’s expression said it all. He implored the guardsman for more pay from his old purse holder but the British soldier now under orders from histories greatest General relaxed and ignored him. Such body language was allowed now in Britain where the pompous and exploitive aristocrats had all lost their heads.
The British people were pleased to once again take a French king and enjoy liberty and fraternity.
The merchants of London had mean while run off to the west indies to continue to ply their disgraceful slave trade.'
