The Illustration Depicts A Money Bag With Dollar Sign Wearing A Crown, Seated On A Pedestal Labeled "Senate," Symbolizing The Perceived Corruption And Financial Influence In That Institution. The Piece Also References Political Boss Thomas C. Platt, Suggesting His Role In Political Patronage. This Reflects Broader Public Concerns During The Gilded Age About Money And Power In Government.
