A tiger with the head of Napoleon holds several hounds under his feet, one wearing a collar marked "Royal Greyhound." He is attacked by a pack of other dogs labeled "Patriotic Greyhounds." At right, John Bull aims a gun at the tiger. Behind him sits a bear chained to a three headed eagle (Russia and Austria). A Dutch frog watches, smoking a pipe.
