We've all got to retrench! / F. Opper.
Summary
Print shows how members of the upper class have made efforts to cut-back during the business panic of 1893; vignettes show a clothing auction of dresses worn by socialites, former streetcar-horses finding a second life as polo ponies, club men drinking from the "growler", theatergoers abandoning the orchestra pit for upper-level boxes, opening up their yachts for "sailing parties of the plain people", and hopping freight cars in the absence of "local express trains".

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.
