A female figure labeled “Europe” sleeps among boxes of “Munitions of War [and] Ammunition,” large shells, and a barrel of “Powder” with a candle labeled “Ambition” as a burning fuse. She is dreaming about “The Czar’s Proposal for a Universal Peace Congress.” Her dream shows an angel holding up a banner labeled “Millennium” around which are dancing the symbolic representations of several countries. Among them are a fox, a turkey wearing a fez, a double-headed eagle labeled “Austria,” a cock labeled “France,” an eagle labeled “Germany,” the British Lion, the Russian Bear labeled “Russia,” a fox labeled “Italy,” a cat labeled “Spain,” and a dragon labeled “China.”
