A fat man rides on the back of an elephant which opens a bottle of champagne with his trunk while trampling further bottles under foot. Coloured lithograph by the Becquet brothers after Bischty (?), 1868.

A coat of arms bearing two unicorns and sailing ships (in the top right corner) and the lettering 'through' is topped with a crown. The man looks over towards it as he grabs the reins of the elephant in one hand and hooks his arm to hold his walking stick with the other. Beneath the elephant's feet are an array of bottles and two books entitled 'Brillat Savarin' and 'Oeuvres de Rabelais'
