In this French political cartoon from 1898 a pastry representing China is being divided between caricatures of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and William II of Germany (who is squabbling with Queen Victoria over a borderland piece, whilst thrusting a knife into the pie to signify aggressive German intentions). Also present are Nicholas II of Russia, who is eyeing a particular piece, the French Marianne (who is diplomatically shown as not participating in the carving, and is depicted as close to Nicholas II, as a reminder of the Franco-Russian Alliance), and a samurai representing Japan, carefully contemplating which pieces to take. A stereotypical Qing official throws up his hands to try and stop them, but is powerless. The drawing is a figurative representation of the Imperialist tendencies of these nations towards China in the late 19th century.
