A political cartoon portrays the United States as Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, and victorious against a defeated Britain. A sea full of ships divides the two. An explanation beneath the cartoon reads, “I. America sitting on that quarter of the globe with the Flag of the United States displayed over her head; holding in one hand the Olive branch, inviting the ships of all nations to partake of her commerce; and in the other hand supporting the Cap of Liberty. II. Fame proclaiming the joyful news to all the world. III. Britannia weeping at the loss of the trade of America, attended with an evil genius. IV. The British flag struck, on her strong Fortresses. V French, Spanish, Dutch &c shipping in the harbours of America. VI A view of New York wherein is exhibited the Trator [sic] Arnold, taken with remorse for selling his [country?] and Judas like hanging himself."
