Any Thing to Keep Afloat a Little Longer, from Puck n.d.

"Any Thing to Keep Afloat a Little Longer," is a political cartoon from the late 19th century by Joseph Keppler, known for his satirical illustrations. The cartoon depicts a group of men, representing different political factions, clinging to a sinking ship labeled "The Grand Old Party", a reference to the Republican Party. The men frantically throw various items overboard, including "Moral Ideas" and "Service Reform", while clinging to labels like "Tariff" and "Protection," highlighting the political maneuvering and the desperate measures taken to maintain power. The cartoon, likely published in the satirical magazine *Puck*, utilizes the visual language of political satire to critique the state of American politics during the late 19th century.
