SUMMARY: Print shows Josephine standing in a carriage on the left which is drawn by four "unruly" horses, two are labeled "A Jacobin" and "A Royalist"; Napoleon, having been tossed onto the back of a bull, probably representing John Bull or Great Britain, lies on his back with his head between the upright horns of the bull, suggesting cuckoldry, probably alluding to rumors of infidelity involving Josephine.
