A painful prophetic vision / F.M. Hutchins.
Summary
Print shows a well-dressed, grand old woman sitting in a chair, with a comb labeled "Republican Party" in her hair, and newspapers on the floor around her with headlines "Evening Reporter - Commerce Picking Up All Along the Line", "Morning Verity - Trade Getting Brisk Since the Passage of the Wilson Bill", and holding the "Daily Facts - Increased Activity in Business on Account of the New Tariff". There is a steaming pot of tea on the table next to her. She is imagining a scene where a street in the business district is filled with a procession of women shoppers carrying placards that state "Under the Democratic Tariff We Live in a Golden Age of Business!!!", "1896 - We, the Shopping Women of America, Favor the Democrats Because Their Tariff Bill Favors Our Pocket Books!!!", and "Thanks to the Democrats Shopping is Now a Joy Forever".
Caption: The Republican Party sees the Democrats, in 1896, winning back their old and powerful ally, the "shopping woman."
Illus. from Puck, v. 36, no. 920, (1894 October 24), 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.
