America's partisan "patriots" / C.J. Taylor., Political Cartoon
Summary
Print shows Benjamin Harrison pointing to himself, John Sherman with a sign that states "The Sherman Bill Did It!", William McKinley holding a sign that states "The McKinley Bill Did It!", and Thomas B. Reed pointing to McKinley, all gleefully dancing in front of gigantic figures of "Columbia" and "Europa" who are holding hands across a body of water; at their feet are suffering, poverty stricken peoples, with silent factories behind them.
Caption: Chorus of Republican Leaders Hooray! We'll make all the political capital we can out of this - it'll help the Grand Old Party!

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.
