Bloody Boney the carcass butcher left of trade and retiring to Scarecrow Island

Napoleon, wearing a red bonnet inscribed "foolscap," sits astride a donkey and sets off for Elba. Marie Louise, seated behind Napoleon, beats the donkey with a club labeled "baton marechale." The young King of Rome accompanies his parents upon a "Corsican dog" and gestures towards an island across the water (r.). As the family group travels, they pass a scaffold that also indicates the "Road to Elba." Two crows circle the scaffold, carrying a paper that is inscribed "we long to pick your Bones." Near the left border of the sheet, a French peasant drives the donkey and jeers at their fall from grace.
