Spot the deliberate mistake

[davywavy]

One of the things I find interesting about going abroad is the way historical events are portrayed from other perspectives. Having got most of my historical education from my dad's copy of the 1932 Empire Book for Boys, it often comes as a bit of a surprise that other peoples might not see the same people and events in the same way.

I've just got back from a few days in la Belle France (The Bell, France) where I discovered that they see the Napoleonic wars in a totally different light to the British. Take, for example, this portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte. It appears that the artist has made several elementary mistakes. Can you spot them?

Obvious mistake...
...the naked lady with golden wings is not being ravished by a pack of drunken French sots?
...if the painting is correct Napoleon could never have gotten in an effective blow from that angel on the Harpy whose obviously attacking him?
... is this is symbolic of a French victory, it surely cannot be set IN France (notice the distinct lack of dog turds)!
...It's all fake- this assumes our jolly cousins across the Channel actually did take over all Europe- I am beingging to think its fake, the whole Bonaparte story, as to be honest, I don't think the French have it in them to do that much hard work...

Just of the top of my head..

Good heavens, what are you doing here? I thought you were dead.

Not dead. Merely resting.
