Description: Illustration (chromolithograph) from the Romanian socialist magazine Lumea Nouă Științifică și Literară. A torch bearer, wearing a phrygian cap and a sword marked "Universal Suffrage", tramples upon four snakes (representing, from left, "Exploitation", "Militarism", "Corruption" and "Ignorance"). She is leaning on a rock marked "8-hour Day", above which is a red flag with the paraphrased Marxist slogan "Proletarians from All Countries Unite". The three strips of cloth tied to the mast read, from left, "Brotherhood", "Liberty", "Justice". At the foot of the rock are agricultural utensils and a bundle of grain. The open book in the foreground is Karl Marx's Das Kapital, and the open one to its right reads "Union Makes Strength". In the background, over the anvil and cogwheel, a rising sun marked "The World of the Future". Notes: several words used show antiquated or incorrect spellings - țerile for țările ("countries"), corupțiune for corupție ("corruption"), esploatare for exploatare ("exploitation"). For unknown reasons, the "N" in UNIVERSAL is turned into a "И", and the "ă" (schwa) is turned into a plain "a" in the words frăție ("brotherhood") and ignoranță ("ignorance").
