This humorous political cartoon, "Self-possession of Fabricius, the Ambassador, under rather Trying Circumstances," by John Leech, depicts a humorous scene of an ambassador, Fabricius, sitting calmly as a giant elephant looms over him with a menacing expression. The cartoon, likely published in the 19th century, uses satire to comment on the political landscape of the time, possibly highlighting the resilience of an ambassador in the face of daunting challenges. The use of caricature and exaggeration, typical of Leech's style, adds to the comedic effect.
