The genius of temperance

Description
Image of an allegorical woman (Genius) in flowing garb and star circlet pointing the way towards a life of temperance with two very different views of civilization in the background behind her; at left a dismal and sad view of a town rife with "disorder and drunkeness" with a fight in the street and a large mob gathered to watch a hanging; at right a utopian future without evils with large temple, happy groups of people socializing, boats on a lake, and beautiful views.
