Angola on the Lake
A monochromatic amalgam of downtown Angola sights are seen in a mid 19th century Neoclassical American cartouche and frame.
Two heroic allegorical figures bracket the frame: on the left is a man from the Seneca nations, holding a peace pipe. He looks over at an allegory of Lake Erie with the Niagara Falls cascading down his thighs. Behind them are deciduous trees, which grow in profusion in the area.

Salzburg
A monochromatic view of the Baroque towers of Salzburg is framed by an ornate rococo frame with a gilded cherubs head at the bottom. On the left is an allegorical figure of the Salzach River pouring salt into his mouth from a baroque salt cellar. The river was an important artery for transporting salt from the region to many parts of Europe.
The other figure on the right is still a bit ambiguous, and will be worked on. He is an amalgam of Archbishop Colloredo and Mozart, as both of those figures were very important in the history of Salzburg. Mozart for obvious reasons with his contributions to music, and Colloredo as he transformed Salzburg from an industrial backwater to the baroque jewel, it is we know today.
The scene is surrounded by entwined Edelweiss, which is a regional flower that is seen in many interpretations in the area: clothing, dinnerware, advertising, etc
