design: Truth, in the form of a partially naked woman enfolded within a massive red cloak. She holds a mirror aloft and a
five-pointed star adorns her head. Behind her is a moustachioed "poilu", ambiguously poised so as to suggest the imminent, though polite,
removal of Truth's raiment, rather than a protective and concealing embrace
named (lower right): "CARREY"
