Description: | image: England and France, embodied in two women in medieval costume, ward off an attack by the German Imperial eagle. The
medieval theme spreads to the landscape with the silhouette of a castle in the background, and a border of flowers in the foreground. One
woman is fair, and wears a red dress, mauve cloak and a small gold crown. She kneels drawing the sword from the belt at her waist. The
other is dark, and is dressed in green. She stands behind her comerade, her arm raised in a gesture to ward off the eagle.
