The title of this cartoon is (original caption) - En Chine .. Le gateau des Rois et ..des emperors. (China, the cake of kings and of emperors) The cartoon is a French political cartoon from 1898. China in French is " Chine". Activity taking place : A pastry represents China and is being divided between caricatures. It is meant to be a figurative representation of the Imperialist tendencies of these nations towards China. Distortions or exaggerations ? groups of people represented, and body language : Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, William II of Germany (who is squabbling with Queen Victoria over a borderland piece, while thrusting a knife into a pie to signify aggressive German intentions), Nicholas II of Russia (who is eyeing a particular piece), the French Marianne (who is diplomatically shown as not participating in the carving, and as depicted as close to Nicholas II, as a reminder of the Franco - Russian alliance), and the Meiji Emperor of Japan (carefully contemplating which piece to take). A stereotypical Qing official throws up his hands to try and stop them, but is powerless. Srry, but that is all I can do.

Oh, I remember seeing this in my textbook, it's a political cartoon trying to portray how imperialist nations like Great Britain, Germany, and Russia were pushing into China and "cutting it into pieces" similar to a pie. Each nation was given a chunk of China to control and drain of its resources, and the Chinese were basically powerless to stop it.
