According to an article the Skokie Review (July 19, 1973, p. 12), the six-color lithograph was "Created by the artist under exclusive commission to the Skokie-based [Fidelity World Arts]" and "express the hope and relief that Peace brings rather than dwelling on the tragedies of war."

"In the words of the artist, the 'Angel of Peace Covering a Calmer World,' means:
The allusive but majestic Angel of Peace emerges from the chaos and clutter of war. Her action is poised to spread a calming influence across the world. Mankind will return to the way of Peace but he will not forget. The scars of war run deep. And the wreaths of Peace will be in the wind. The sky, a clear, clean blue... the fields - ochre and umber. The bright sun - yellow and warm again. But, she is illusive - and hard to hold. The Angel of Peace must rise and prevail.
Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) is perhaps the most famous of the Surrealists. Throughout his career, he experimented with many forms of art, including drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, writing, set design, and film making. Born and raised in Spain, he spent much of his life in France, moving to Paris in 1929 to join the French surrealist movement of the late-1920s and 1930s,
