A crowded scene in the market square in Norwich. Two men cut up the carcass of a bull at center, while men fight over the fragments. At right, women fill pitchers from a cask. A bonfire burns in the background at right. A crowd in the background at left lifts an effigy of Napoleon on a pole, with flags that read, "Downfall of the Tyrant."
