Sleeping beauty

Sleeping beauty. Illustration shows Uncle Sam as a sleeping Swiss guard of the Public Funds, being overtaken by trees and cobwebs, two dogs are also asleep at this feet. A building on the right labeled Public Funds is being overgrown by a tree labeled Corruption with spreading limbs labeled National, State, and City, a snake labeled Lobbyism hangs from the branches; rats flee with coins from its coffers. Two spiders labeled Graft and Bossism ply the webs, a tree on the left is labeled Ring Rule, and an alligator labeled Greed prowls the foreground among tree roots labeled Dead Conscience. In the background, a vulture labeled Monoply keeps an eye on a candlelight vigil by a person labeled Dead Letter Laws for a female figure labeled Honesty; the candle glows with Hope. Date 1905 August 16. Sleeping beauty. Illustration shows Uncle Sam as a sleeping Swiss guard of the Public Funds, being overtaken by trees and cobwebs, two dogs are also asleep at this feet.
