Cartoon showing George Fisher wading through the water off Thorndon Quay, and, in a boat, another man, possibly a self-portrait of ex-Mayor William Hutchison. Several ducks are also paddling in the water.

In the background are the Government Departmental Buildings, St Paul's Pro-Cathedral and Thorndon Railway Station with a steam train.
