"The soul of Blaine" still on the rampage / Gillam.
Summary
Illustration shows James G. Blaine, wearing Elizabethan style dress, and a small band of accomplices labeled "Clapp, Reid, Murat Halstead, Elkins, [and] Mahone" making their way down a Tudor style street, marking the doors of potential victims, including Puck's offices, of a personal vendetta; Reid carries a long list that includes "C. Schurz, H.W. Beecher, G.W. Curtis, C.A. Arthur, Col. Lyman, H. White, G. Jones, [and] E.L. Godkin". Drawn by the commotion, Arthur, Curtis, Schurz, and Beecher lean out windows observing, as does Puck's figure of the Independent Party.
Caption: He organizes a little private St. Bartholomew's eve of his own.
Illus. from Puck, v. 16, no. 411, (1885 January 21), 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.
