English: Britannia Pacificatrix by Sigismund Goetze at the Foreign Office, UK. The mural painting showes Britannia victorious after the Great War, upholding the peace with the aid of Her far-off sons and allies within a marble colonnade topped with a Latin inscription. She shakes hands with America, wearing the cap of liberty and holding the scales of justice. Note: "The figures in the painting are obviously divided in two parts, on the right is the British Empire, on the left are the other nations of the world, led by America shaking hands with Britannia. Behind Britannia are her four sons, four "Great Dominions" of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa, all portrayed as picture-perfect examples of the pure Nordic race. In the very right corner of the picture are figures representing British India, an Arab (Prince Faisal) representing the newly acquired Middle Eastern Empire, and finally a little Swahili boy carrying a basket of fruit, representing, to quote directly from Goetze, "our obligations and possibilities in the dark continent."
