The rival gardeners

The rival gardeners. King George III of England and Napoleon I tend to their respective plants on opposite sides of a stream labeled The Channel. A cudgel marked British Oak floats down it. Napoleon bends over his drooping potted plant, surmounted by a crown, supporting it with both hands. Behind him are pots of Military Poppies. Beside him, a wheelbarrow full of coins with a sword standing up from the pile bears the title, Manure from Italy and Switzerland, a reference to the French army's plundering of Italy and Switzerland under Napoleon. The ruler of France wears an apron and over-sleeves. George III, dressed in a simple suit and an apron, holds a shovel while pointing to his thriving oak plant, also surmounted by a crown.
