Summary

Down with Capital!", and is being led over barricades by a "Walking Delegate" who gestures toward a laborer standing with one foot on a prostrate industrialist; at the bottom is depicted the reality of an unemployed laborer's waking life of familial discord and he still has the ears fo a mule.
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.
