This is a commission done by 
moodyferret from Chapter 2 of my capsule history of the fictitious Rain Island Anarchcracy, "Recognition." Here's the related text:
September 18, 1885
Washington, DC
United States of America:
The previous week’s edition of Harper’s Weekly showed a personification of the United States as Columbia, a statuesque and imperious bald eagle femme, gowned in white with a star-spangled sash across her chest. She wore the traditional Liberty Cap and was wielding a sword and shield as she faced down a thuggish-looking lion.
Also in the picture and obviously under Columbia’s protection was a pretty lynx dressed as an Indian princess. The caption read, “Protecting the weak.”
Although done in pencil, the Nast cartoon got straight to the point and didn’t pull any punches, Lucas Danforth reflected sourly. The aide to the President opened the current edition of the magazine.
