Summary
Cartoon shows "a night scene. Columbia stands on a balcony draped with the United States flag, with the American Eagle beside her, wings outspread. She brandishes her sword, and below her, mounted knights salute her with drawn swords. In the distance is a wide landscape of mountains, valleys, rivers and lakes--a whole continent--with beacon fires everywhere. In the sky is a vision of the Capitol, with rays of light radiating from it like the aurora borealis. ... The painting reveals Nast's complete belief in the righteousness of the Northern cause. It also reveals the basic romanticism that governed his politics and art. ..."
