- A French satire on the British administration, who are shown gathered around a table with bottles and glasses (two of which are toppled over) and a battle plan (’Plan de Berlin’) drawn on the tablecloth. The men are mostly yawning, asleep or looking bored. Even the dog in the foreground looks to be toppling over with fatique.
