The wealthy sabbatarian fanatic / C.J. Taylor.
Summary
Print shows a vignette cartoon depicting a man who firmly believes in observing the Sabbath, as he tells his friends, surrounded by vignettes where he insists that his Sunday newspaper be delivered earlier, that the gardner put out flowers on the tables and in all the rooms, that the bootblack shine his shoes faster, that his driver be available for the entire day, and that the barber add more chairs, so he won't have to wait so long for a haircut on Sunday.
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.
