Abstract: A woman (Liberty?) stands on top the prostrate figures of a clergyman and a lion inside a large courtyard. A bird (a dove of peace?) looks on from the eaves of the building. The clergyman wears a wig and clerical bands. The woman, with a laurel crown on her head, holds in her left hand a staff of liberty surmounted by a cap of liberty. In her raised right hand she holds an extractor with the last of lion's teeth. His other teeth lie scattered on the ground. Dialogue ribbons are attached to the woman, clergyman, and bird. The woman says, "Daniel is conquer'd, the lion slain. Let peace & unity for ever reign." A sign "Coach office" hangs over the courtyard gate
