Moral and Philosophical Alphabet for the Use of Little and Big Children: Miseries of War (1812)
A grayscale illustration depicts three figures standing on a snowy surface with a gun lying on the ground to their left; a woman stands to the left in a headscarf and long dark dress, her hands clasped together; a man stands to the right of her, wearing a fur coat, tall fur hat, and holding a long staff; another figure stands behind them to their right. The background shows a snowy landscape with rocks on the left and a line of trees in the distance on the right. A flock of birds flies in a V-formation in the upper right. Text at the bottom reads "MISÈRES DE LA GUERRE. 1812." and "Alliance des Arts." in a smaller font below, with "Imp. Bertauts, Paris." above the main text. The illustration is surrounded by a thin border and a thicker white border.
