Drawing shows a caricature of Wilhelm II as a two headed figure, half of which wears military uniform and fiercely brandishes a bloody sword, while his other half wears a black suit with a rolled document labelled "Holy Willy's Prayer" sticking out of the pocket and gazes heavenward as he holds out an envelope addressed: To His High Wellborn Holiness Pope Benedict XV Vatican Rome.
