- Abstract:
- An illustration of a tall woman standing wearing a red and white cap, flowing white gown with a Cross of Lorraine on her chest, and a red, flowing cloak over her shoulders. Her left arm is holding the cloak, shrouding a girl in a dress who is carrying a toddler on her left side, protecting them from the dark cloaked figure behind her on her right. The figure behind the woman is completely covered with a blue/gray cloak, except its arms. While the woman is holding the figure's right arm, its right hand is clenching onto the woman's red cloak and its left hand is above the woman's left shoulder. The figures are emitting red lines or rays and are encompassed by little blue dots. Text explaining ways to care for "consumptives" are superimposed over the illustration. The entire illustration is inside a red frame.
