England / UK: 'The Plumb-pudding in danger, or, State epicures taking un petit souper ...', caricature, James Gillray, London, 26 February 1805

William Pitt, wearing a regimental uniform and hat, sitting at a table with Napoleon. They are each carving a large plum pudding on which is a map of the world. Pitt's slice is considerably larger than Napoleon's.

The new Emperor, and his opponent the English Minister, are helping themselves—one taking the land, the other the sea. On the overtures made by the new Emperor for a reconciliation with England in the January of 1805.
