Summary
Drawing is titled "Naga Hills / Ye Succession!" and shows two men shaking hands. The man on the left, drawn as an elongated caricature and dressed in a tailcoat, is holding a very large key in his raised left hand with text in a banner that appears tied to the key, "ye Key of Office". His right leg is raised and bent, his left leg bent but his foot is on the ground seeming to be hopping. The man on the right, drawn more fully, is dressed in a suit, is shaking hands with his right hand while his left arm is extended and looks slightly deformed. There is a speech bubble in front of him "What ! You ! / A mere Boy ! / Tut Tut Tut Tut / I adult / He ought to have a nursemaid !".
