EDITORS COMMENTS
This allegorical print, titled "Liberty Brings to the Earth Justice and Peace," was created in 1863 or 1864 as a complimentary Presentation Plate for the Philadelphia Inquirer newspaper. The image portrays Liberty as a robust and determined figure, standing on the steps of an altar. She is dressed in armor, with a breastplate, cape, and helmet, symbolizing her strength and protection. In her left hand, Liberty wields a sword, ready to defend the principles she holds dear, while in her right hand she holds both a Union flag and an olive branch, signifying her commitment to both justice and peace. To her right, the figure of Justice, represented as a crouching woman, holds a set of scales and a sword, symbolizing the balance between fairness and force. Behind Justice stands a fierce lion, symbolizing courage and strength. At Liberty's left, the figure of Industry, depicted as a woman with a spindle and a child in her lap, represents the hard work and dedication necessary for a prosperous society. In the foreground, a cornucopia overflowing with fruit symbolizes the abundant blessings that come with peace and justice. This powerful and evocative image was a testament to the hope and determination of the Union cause during the Civil War era. With its intricate details and rich symbolism, this print continues to inspire and captivate viewers today.
