Summary
| Description |
English:
Thomas Nast bows low before the floor of the U.S. Senate. A group of caricatured senators stand to one side. Some senators hide their faces. Carl Schurz whispers to Reuben Fenton in the background.
Caption:
"PEEVISH SCHOOL-BOYS, WORTHLESS OF SUCH HONOR."
The first line of the caption is apparently taken from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar , Act V, Scene I. The featured four senators from the greenback advocates on the left (from left to right) are: John A. Logan (Illinois), Oliver P. Morton (Indiana), Simon Cameron (Pennsylvania), Matthew H. Carpenter (Wisconsin) |
