Description: | signed
image: An angel tripping from left to right, her head turned in the opposite direction, and blowing a post-horn supported
by her outstretched right hand, her arm decorated with two laurel wreaths. Her left arm is likewise extended to the right similarly adorned
and holding a laurel wreath in her left hand. She is dressed in pseudo-classical diaphanous dress. She is surrounded by a pattern of
engraved horizontal lines incorporating four roses and a laurel wreath to the lower left. The title runs in capitals around three sides of
the image. At the base the subtext is reversed in white out of black, engraved in the vernacular. The whole is surrounded by a roughly cut
dot-patterned border.
