The Triumph of Boodle, from Boodle n.d.

"The Triumph of Boodle" is a satirical cartoon by Joseph Keppler, a prominent American political cartoonist of the late 19th century. The artwork depicts a group of men in Roman-inspired garb, representing the corruption of the political system. The main figure, labeled "Boodle," is riding in a chariot pulled by a horse representing the “People’s Vote”. This caricature, typical of Keppler’s style, uses visual exaggeration and symbolism to critique the political climate of the time. The Art Institute of Chicago houses this piece.
