  1. This is a verson of Edward Hicks The Peacable Kingdom illustrating Isaisah 11 "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard lie down with kid, an the calf and the lion and th fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."

    Hicks (1780-1849) was a Quaker preacher and he made some 60  versions of this picture, each time slightly different. The version you are talking about, the best know; shows William Penn (for whom Pennysylvania is named) paying money to Indians for the rights to the land.
