Summary
Illustration shows an interior view of the House of Congress with the Republicans on one side and the Democrats on the other; a gigantic man wearing a crown labeled "Protected Trusts" and clothing decorated with dollar signs, his hands resting on a huge club labeled "Protected Tariffs" is sitting before them. Representative Joseph W. Babcock is climbing the club and has turned to address his Republican colleagues who are attempting to flee in fear. The Democrats are calmly sitting, waiting for an opportunity to cut the ogre down to size.
Caption: Representative Babcock (to his Republican Associates) You'd better help me take this club away! The Democrats will do it if you don't!

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.
