The angel of peace sits on a rocky ledge, playing a large horn, with a dove sitting on her feet. Around her in the night sky are discordant images emerging from the horn, such as Marianne knocking over the “French Cabinet,” Turkey and Greece as Jack-in-the-boxes shooting at each other, King George V and “Lords” dealing with a firecracker labeled “Ulster” and the “Home Rule Bill,” a man carrying a large stick labeled “Interstate Commerce” about to strike a menacingly snake-like railroad train, and “Huerta” and “Villa” fighting atop a pile of dead bodies.
