A human figure, accompanied by the caption « he sits while others work-Sloth ! » with a skelatal face and a peaked cap with a mask on its crown sits next to a scantilly-clad man whose chest is labeled « John Q. Public, » and whose wolf-like nose is labeled « animal instinct ». A swatch of fabric ties together the heads of both figures, is accompanied by the captions « a blanket of ignorance and death » and « a mentallity that perverts those it comes into contact with. »
