Two lambs stand at center in the image, the left labeled “T.R.,” and the right labeled “Waldo” (i.e. Rhinelander Waldo). Waldo was the New York City Police Commissioner, known for his intimidating anti-vice squads. In front of both are two dice, both showing sixes, with the die on the left labeled “Politics,” and the right labeled “Police.” Above both figures sits a crow-like figure sitting on a tree branch with money and card suits growing from it.
