Comment: 

Man (John Bull?) at left is using an imitation umbrella as a parachute, and is plunging to his death; while Uncle Sam at right is using a Hercules Frame Umbrella, and is floating gently down. Possibly a putdown on imitation umbrellas imported from England. An unpaneled with & without card. See also BAE24.
