Illustration shows a vignette cartoon with, at top, a man being carried in a sedan chair, with many porters carrying furniture from a train on the right to his cabin in the wilderness on the left; at bottom, on the left, is a buck holding up a young hunter, exclaiming "To think of anybody mistaking a thing like this for me!"; at bottom, on the right, is "The Guide's Farewell" where a hunter stands outside the door as his guide takes leave of his family, the guide's wife is weeping into a handkerchief, an infant sitting on the floor is crying, and his son hands him a rifle, the expectation is that he will be shot by accident by the hunter. At center is a man gesturing toward his trophy wall and boasting about having "shot every one of them myself"; on the wall are portraits of many men mistaken for one animal or another, and one deer, which was shot "By Accident".
