Images include: Athena; Britain as a lion; British commerce as a man; Civil Union as a woman; British commerce as a man; Corruption as a satyr; Discord, as a woman; Election as a woman; France as a cock; Harmony as a woman; Hope as a woman; Landed Interest as a woman; Manufacture as a woman; Moderation as a woman; public credit as a woman; Public Virtue as a woman; Spain as a peacock's tail feathers.
