Figure descriptions
Illustration is divided into six sections. The first section, located at the top-left
corner of the illustration, shows a
woman flying toward a cherub while holding a butcher knife. In front of her, two hearts
are pierced by a needle. The top-right
section shows a woman sitting on an “S”-shaped ribbon. A man kneels below the woman
and looks up toward her. He clasps his hands in
front of his chest as though he is pleading with her. The upper-middle section shows
two cherubs duelling on saddled horses. One
cherub jabs his javelin at the other cherub, who falls off his horse. The lower-middle
section shows two cherubs riding saddled
horses side-by-side. The bottom-left section shows a man who is surrounded by five
women. The women all stare at him. Three fairies
fly above him, one of whom holds her arms out to him. In the bottom-right section,
a man and a woman embrace under a tree. Each of
the six sections is divided by either tree branches or ribbons. 1/2-page illustration
