Unconditional Surrender, from Puck Possibly 1889

"Unconditional Surrender," a satirical cartoon by Louis Dalrymple, depicts a humorous portrayal of the surrender of the New York "plate" to the "new free patronage" in 1889. The image, published in Puck magazine, is a commentary on the political climate of the time, with exaggerated figures representing different factions. The artwork's bold and whimsical style makes it a poignant visual satire, capturing the political machinations of the late nineteenth century.
