Summary
Print shows the Tammany Tiger lying on its back on a bed, apparently dead. A notice on the wall states "The Tammany Tiger Executed by the People, November 6, 1894". Archbishop Michael Corrigan is kneeling at bedside, cranking a battery labeled "Corrigan's Battery" which is connected to the paws of the Tiger by wires that spell "Church Influence", and Thomas C. Platt is standing at the foot of the bed, cranking on a battery labeled "Headquarters of the Republican 'Boys'" which is connected to electrodes in the back paws of the Tiger by wires that spell "Political Deals". There is a bucket of water and a sponge on the floor at the foot of the bed and the New York State Capitol at Albany is in the background.
Caption: Despite the efforts of prelate and politician the cat will not come back.
Illus. from Puck, v. 36, no. 927, (1894 December 12), centerfold.

Alois Senefelder, the inventor of lithography, introduced the subject of colored lithography in 1818. Printers in other countries, such as France and England, were also started producing color prints. The first American chromolithograph—a portrait of Reverend F. W. P. Greenwood—was created by William Sharp in 1840. Chromolithographs became so popular in American culture that the era has been labeled as "chromo civilization". During the Victorian times, chromolithographs populated children's and fine arts publications, as well as advertising art, in trade cards, labels, and posters. They were also used for advertisements, popular prints, and medical or scientific books.
