A group of animals are gathered in a jungle, some showing the facial attributes of the rulers of “Austria” (Franz Joseph I), “Germany” (William II), and “Italy” (Umberto I). A monkey labeled “France” is speaking and gesticulating to “Japan, Turkey, Russia, Italy, [and] Austria,” while the British lion looks on disapprovingly from above. China is in the background, Spain in the foreground, and Uncle Sam appears as an eagle behind the British lion.
