[The Weekly Puck] Idol Wheels

The Latest Idol of the “Grand Old Party of Moral Ideas”

by Joseph Keppler (1889)



Lazy Curator™ sez: Image shows William Mahone posing on the base of a Ulysses S. Grant monument he has shoved the bust off of and carved the word “Mahoneism” onto. Various men are prostrating themselves before him, including:

William Wade Dudley

John Wanamaker (who has a page in his pocket reading, “Go to John Wanamaker’s for cheap clothes &c”)

Matthew S. Quay

Benjamin Harrison

James S. Clarkson (with Headsman axe)

Redfield Proctor

I am not completely out of Thanksgiving images, but I am mostly out of good ones, so enjoy this cartoon depicting [nearly] birthday boy “Little Billy” Mahone instead.
