The print shows America, a bejeweled Indian Queen robed in furs, kneeling beside an obelisk which commerates the war. The names Warren, Montgomery, Wooster, and Mercer (leaders who died in battle) are engraved on monument, and in the background is a burning city, fences and walls in ruins, and two corpses, one corpse having an Indian arrow protruding from his breast. From above, a female figure, Peace, brings an olive branch from the sky. Heroic Virture, represented by Hercules and carrying a club, approaches America presenting Liberty, carrying a Liberty Cap on a staff; Concord, with flowers in her hair and holding a bundled fasces; Industry, holding a beehive; and Plenty, carrying a cornucopia and surrounded by children and animals. A fleet of ships are docked in the background. Stippple. Rectangle. Below the print it reads: "Publish'd according to Act of Parliament, October the 6th, 1781 by R.E. Pine Albemarle Street, London." The painting presents an allegory of the restoration of peace and prosperity to America following the Revolution. The allegory is as follows: "America, after having suffered the several evils of war, bewailed its unhappy cause, and lamented over the victims of its fury--her ruined towns--destroyed commerce, etc. On the appearance of Peace, it represented an extacy of gratitude to the Almighty--heroic Virtue presents Liberty attended by Concord--Industry, followed by Plenty and her train, form a group expressive of Population; and ships denote Commerce." This engraving is based on a 1778 painting by British artist Robert Edge Pine, which was destroyed by fire in 1803. A similar engraving by Amos Doolittle is titled: "America. To perpetuate to posterity the memory of those patriotic heroes, who fought, bled & died in establishing peace, liberty, and tranquility to their country. This print is a second engraving by Joseph Strutt after the same Pine painting. In 1784, a proof of this print was sent to George Washington by George William Fairfax, stating that it was "expressive of the great Oppressions and Calamities of America, also the glorious Revolution with which it pleased Heaven to terminate the infernal war." He suggested that the figure of Heroic Virtue was to represent General Washington.
