Summary
Print shows William McKinley sitting on a white horse on a cliff, as the brilliant leader of a successful military campaign, with Mark A. Hanna standing next to him, holding a banner that states "Three Cheers and a Tiger for Prosperity's Advance Agent!!" In the valley below lie the casualties of the campaign, "Morton, Quay, Allison, Reed, Manley, [and] Cullom", and in the background are John Sherman, Robert T. Lincoln, and Benjamin Harrison. "Manley", Reed's campaign manager, wears a Red Cross on his uniform.
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.
