Print shows members of the French National Assembly exposing their posteriors, from which streams labeled "Liberté ca ira" pour down on the heads of rulers of Europe, while Liberty ignites a cannon labeled "Violent emetique" aimed up Louis XIV's posterior causing him to vomit vetos over the monarchs, among them Catherine II, George III, William Pitt, and Pope Pius VI; an eagle with a large crown labeled "Protection de l'empire", arrives to late to shield the group.
