⚠The image is very faint, possibly a counter-proof or heavily faded engraving.

A full-page, faint sepia-toned illustration. At the center is a large wheel with many spokes, resembling a Catherine wheel or a symbolic celestial orb. Standing behind and appearing to support or govern the wheel is a winged figure, possibly an angel or a personification of Fame or Fortune. The upper background is populated with numerous small stars. In the foreground, beneath the wheel, a figure lies face down on the ground. To the right of the wheel is a large, craggy mass, perhaps representing a mountain or a dense cloud formation. The entire composition has a ghostly, ethereal quality.
