Image description:
A realistic illustration of a man dressed in muted red and gray holding a large box over his head with both hands. A cloud of black specks spills out of the box as it cracks open. Behind him a bald-headed figure faces away from the viewer. This figure is lifting an ax as if he means to strike something in front of him. Both men are wearing feathers on their heads. The presence of rigging suggests they are on the deck of a ship. The tip of a piece of cloth decorated with a slightly-visible Union Jack protrudes into the image at the top.
