Summary
Illustration shows a classroom scene with the rulers of several countries as the students, most are identified by country and showing the attributes of their leaders, such as, in the back row, "Russia" (Nicholas II), "Germany" (William II), and England (John Bull), and in the front row, "Austria" (Franz Joseph I), "France" (Emile Loubet), Uncle Sam, Japan (Meiji, Emperor of Japan), and Italy (Victor Emmanuel III), and on the far left, sitting on a stool, is "Turkey" wearing a "Dunce" cap. The teacher labeled "Diplomacy", at the front of the room, points to a blackboard on which is written "If the Boer War cost Great Britain $825,000,000 what would a world's war cost?" While most of the leaders ponder this question, Russia and Japan glare at each other. There are three wastebaskets filled with weapons.

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.
