The inscription on the reverse relates how Bonaparte, in captivity on the island of St. Helena, attempted to give his escort the slip when out riding. He spurred his horse 'up an almost impossible track in the rocks' leaving the British Captain to risk breaking his neck in pursuit, or ride five miles round to meet the path on the other side of the mountain. The story was seized on by Heath, a portraitist and engraver of military subjects, who published various series of engravings depicting 'The Wars of Wellington'.
