Image of William Cobbett, as Peter the Porcupine, from Peter Porcupine's gazette, with a female figure, possibly Columbia, to the left, and the devil and the British lion to the right. The female looks to a portrait of Benjamin Franklin, ona stone base that reads "Independence declared 4 July 1776," and an eagle is to the right. At the bottom, Cobbett is looking over papers that relate to the impressment of American seamen by the British.
