After Election, from Puck Possibly 1890

"After Election" is a political cartoon created by Joseph Keppler in 1890 for the American satirical magazine *Puck*. The cartoon depicts a conversation between a workingman and a farmer. The workingman is dressed in overalls and appears distressed, while the farmer seems unconcerned, carrying a basket of groceries. The scene takes place in front of storefronts labeled "McKinley Low Wages" and "McKinley High Prices," highlighting the stark contrast in their economic situations. Keppler's sharp social commentary reflects the anxieties of the working class during a time of political and economic change, making it a relevant piece for understanding the historical context of the late 19th century in the United States.
