The evolution of the dollar / Dalrymple.
Summary
Illustration shows the financial situation for laborers and capitalists in 1875 and in 1900. The high interest earned by the dollar was good for the capitalist in 1875, but as interest on the dollar dropped, the situation improved for the laborer, as the dollar went further, and the financier saw his investments earning less in 1900.
Caption: The laborer's dollar grows, and the capitalist's dollar shrinks.
Illus. in: Puck, v. 46, no. 1192 (1900 January 10), centerfold.

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.
