The fin de siècle newspaper proprietor / F. Opper. Joseph Pulitzer
Summary
Print shows a newspaper owner, possibly meant to be Joseph Pulitzer, sitting in a chair in his office next to an open safe where "Profits" are spilling out onto the floor; outside this scene are many newspaper reporters for the "Daily Splurge" rushing to the office to toss their stories onto the printing press, such stories as "A Week as a Tramp!! Wild and Exciting Experiences of a Daily Splurge Reporter", "A Reporter of the Daily Splurge Spends a Thrilling Week in an Asylum!", "An Organ Grinder's Life", "Life in Sing Sing - a Splurge Reporter in Disguise", "Divorce Court Details", "Private Scandal", "a Night Around Town" by a woman reporter "in Men's Attire", life on the streets "As a Flower Girl", "Thrilling Exposé", "How beggars are treated on 5th Ave. by Fanny Fake", and "High Spiced Sensation". A notice hanging on the wall of the office states "The Motto of the Daily Splurge - Morality and a High Sense of Duty".
Illus. from Puck, v. 35, no. 887, (1894 March 7), 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.
