International Law - The Better Way

International Law - The Better Way by Thomas Nast in Harper's Weekly, 14th November 1874. A boat called The Arbitrator carrying the flag of truce lands in Geneva. Two female allegorical figures, Peace (dove and olive branch) and Justice (sword and scales), get ready to disembark and are greeted by European dignitaries, including the figure of John Bull, under an arch emblazoned Welcome Peace Through Arbitration. The cartoon is captioned with a quote by Ulyssess Grant, "The Nations are fast becoming so Civilised as to feel that there is a Better Way to settle their difficulties than by fighting."
