Materials medium ink Materials support paper Languages French Description Allegorical representation of America as a native American woman with feathered headdress and garments. Her arm around a statue of liberty with a Phrygian cap (liberty cap) and a turtle at her feet, she is surrounded by gods and goddesses of Roman mythology. Minerva (goddess of wisdom and war) stands above a figure representing Benjamin Franklin, with figures representing prudence (holding a mirror with a snake entwined around it) and courage. Courage (with a rooster on his helmet representing watchfulness) beats at a fallen man [with a British crown?] who lies on Neptune (with broken trident and fallen crown) who holds broken chains. At left of image are figures representing agriculture (with a plow), commerce (Mercury with caduceus and winged hat). At bottom is a harp surrounded by links with the names of the states, a fasces, and cornucopia. notes The Liberty cap was based on the Phrygian cap of manumission of Asia Minor worn by slaves after they had been freed. Franklin declined to have Borel's work dedicated to him (which would have helped Borel in selling his print) and the first state of this print came out without any dedication. The second state (here) is dedicated to the Congress of the United States; the emblem at the bottom with a harp is from the Continental eight dollar bill.
