Multicolor poster with black lettering. Visual image is a caricature illustration by George Cruikshank of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. He is sitting on a throne on a small island, representing his exhile to Elba. Napoleon is wearing a red fool's cap saying "Imperial crown" with bells on it, a flock of black birds above his head. He looks unkept with an unshaved face and holes in his clothes, sitting in a fancy red chair. He is wearing a green jacket, white pants, and black boots. There are bottles and jars around him, saying things like "Brimstone" and "Itch salve". In the left background is John Bull, the personification of England, and another man on land.
