Napoleon (l.), his head draw in enormous proportions, stands legs astride and hands on hips. With effort, he opens his mouth wide, attempting to swallow the globe. Although Napoleon manages to fit the area of the globe containing Italy and Switzerland into his mouth, the island of Great Britian remains farthest from his teeth. John Bull (r.) watches with patient curiosity, commenting on Napoleon's progress.
