Summary
Print shows Uncle Sam, looking obstinate and pointing his finger at some point between the "Germany Home Market" and the "France Home Market", as he responds to their complaints. He is standing on the left, at the "U.S. Home Market" which is stocked with such commodities as beef, pork, ham, rice, cotton, canned goods, manufactures, wheat, corn, and cabbage. On the right, across a narrow channel, is a German man standing next to a barrel of "Beet Sugar"; in the background, across another channel is a French man and a woman labeled "Belgium" standing next to boxes labeled "Wines".
Caption: Germany You vill not take mein raw sugar, - I vill not take your bork or beef or hay or noddings. Donnerwetter! / France Sacré nom de dieu! You discriminate against my wine! It it not so? I will not take your goods. / Uncle Sam What do I care for commercial intercourse and prosperity? I've got my "Home Market" all to myself, see?

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.
