Political cartoon depicting Jefferson as a francophile traitor. Jefferson kneels at an "Altar to gallic despotism," on which burns a fire fueled by the "Age of reason," the works of French philosophers, and several republican newspapers. He drops from his right hand a paper marked "To Mazzei," a reference to the 1796 letter. A large eagle snatches the Constitution from Jefferson's left hand, and extends a talon threateningly towards his face. At upper right, the eye of Providence looks down upon the scene. The altar is surrounded by money bags, and a devil appears at bottom right.
