“The most humoursome and effective set ever introduced.”
“This is an amusing description by Bill of how 'me and Nelson' won the Battle of Waterloo. The drawings catch the humour of the story, and the result is a most extraordinary representation of this historic event.”
“A humorous coloured set, illustrating 'How Bill Adams won the Battle of Waterloo,' is now being issued by Messrs Levi and Co., London, who supply wholesale only. This set, with the accompanying story, will be found to be most laughable, and is specially brought out for the juveniles.”
