John Bull is seen standing on an outline map of the British Isles (he stands squarely between London and the Midlands), facing a Tory peer-type who is dressed in hunting clothes, ermine-trimmed robes, and a monocle, and carrying a shotgun. The peer has one foot in Northern Ireland, and one in Scotland. John Bull is taking off his jacket, ready for a fight. The caption under the picture reads Vote Liberal and back up John Bull.
