"All for Him" is a political cartoon by Joseph Keppler, created in 1892. The image satirizes the political climate of the time, depicting a wealthy man in a boat, using a large net to catch a multitude of fish, while three men on the shore struggle to catch even one. The illustration is a satirical commentary on the disparity between the wealthy and the working class, using fishing imagery to symbolize economic opportunity and the political climate of the era. The cartoon, originally printed in the satirical magazine *Puck*, is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.
