La betise au front de taureau est vaincue par la France [The stupid bull-headed brute is defeated by France]
Description
A naked-chested France, wearing tights on her legs and with her hair in long plaits, puts her knee on the back of a cowed man-bull (the stupid bull-headed brute). At the right of the image is the German Eagle attacking a French woman and in turn being attacked by the French gallic rooster. There is a small image of a full dressed France with a serpent at the warriors side and another of the warrior France, carrying a bull's head below the main image.
