Summary

Print shows a group of Democrats, identified as "Hill, Murphy, Vest, Bland, Matthews, Morgan, Harris, Crisp, Tillman, Altgeld, Campbell, [and] Stevenson", some wear fezes, others are wearing turbans and other articles of Middle Eastern dress, at a bier labeled "Dem. Free Coinage Platform" on which is the expired Democratic Donkey labeled "Democratic Party"; a ladder labeled "Chicago Convention" has been placed against it and the "Chicago Nominee", wearing the black shroud of a widow, climbs to the top. Tillman places more straw on the bier with a pitchfork, while Altgeld and Campbell use torches to ignite fuses to burn the donkey; Hill and Murphy console each other.

Illus. from Puck, v. 39, no. 1009, (1896 July 8), centerfold.

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.
