| Description |
English: Pleated fan. Paper leaf with hand-colored engraving showing Minerva, with a leopard at her feet and a torch in one hand, presenting an olive branch and wreath to Louis XVI. At right are two putti, one of which is dressed as a Native Indian, holding aloft a banner saying "Vive la Paix" (long live peace). At left, a European and Indigenous woman hold a scroll saying "Etats Unis" (United States). The woman, symbolizing America, holds a trident and phrygian cap of liberty. Above them, a putto holds a trumpet with a banner "Paix et liberté des mers" (Peace and freedom of the seas). Far left, a cartouche explains the scene in French. Background is an all-over pattern of dots. Ivory sticks and wood guards. |
