A few pleasant recollections of the fifty-fourth Congress / J.S. Pughe.
Summary
Print shows a large group of members of the Fifty-Fourth Congress, many dressed as Natives, some wearing grass skirts, most are armed with spears or clubs, some have shields, four are reading the "Reminiscences of John Sherman", one turns the crank on the spit where John Bull is being roasted, and Thomas B. Reed is standing on a platform on the left, a statue labeled "Jingoism" appears at center, and Grover Cleveland appears in effigy with several spears or arrows stuck in him, and Joseph G. Cannon is sitting on the floor on the right.
Alois Senefelder, the inventor of lithography, introduced the subject of colored lithography in 1818. Printers in other countries, such as France and England, were also started producing color prints. The first American chromolithograph—a portrait of Reverend F. W. P. Greenwood—was created by William Sharp in 1840. Chromolithographs became so popular in American culture that the era has been labeled as "chromo civilization". During the Victorian times, chromolithographs populated children's and fine arts publications, as well as advertising art, in trade cards, labels, and posters. They were also used for advertisements, popular prints, and medical or scientific books.
