A wood engraving depicts a man with light skin standing on a cushioned wooden chair, reaching to hang a musket labeled "1861" above a fireplace. He faces away, placing it below an older firearm and a powder horn marked "1776." To our right, a woman with light skin in a dark gown with bow fasteners gazes at him while holding a closed fan. Narrative tiles decorate the fireplace mantel below him.
