Angered, Atlas (r.) removes the world from his shoulders and passes it to Napoleon, who falls away from the globe. As the title indicates, the punishment for Napoleon's ambition will be to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders. Clearly, his desire to control the world will be the end of him; when Napoleon is crushed by his ambition, the balance of power will be restored and Atlas will carry the globe once more. At Napoleon's left, two figures in uniform shrink in fear and attempt to make a get-away, leaving Napoleon alone with his burden. In this caricature, Napoleon is represented as "Little Boney" and his companions are equally grotesqued. The classical drapery and the heroic proportion of Atlas, the muscular hero, provides a contrast to the slight, disproportioned figures and the ornate uniforms of the French.
