Description

Depicted people: Louis XVIII and Napoleon II

In spite of the "Bears grease" (by which Russian support is meant), the French king Louis XVIII is not able——to put on Napoleon's boots. Napoleon's son stands ready——to catch the "Bourbon crown if it might fall." In the background, a guillotine topped with a liberty cap appears out of the fog.
