This is a drawing of a figure holding up a large globe labeled "Europe" and "Asie". The globe is detailed with outlines of continents, specifically Europe and part of Asia, and includes some terrestrial markings. The character appears to be taken aback or surprised, with dramatic motion lines indicating effort or instability. The features and attire of the character are exaggerated for comedic effect, typical of political or satirical cartoons. There is a caption at the bottom. The style of the drawing is reminiscent of political cartoons by artists such as Honoré Daumier.
