Created on 24 March 1888 for Vanity Fair magazine, this caricature is a scathing satire that humorously depicts Mr. Thomas Wallace Russell's loyalty and patriotism. In this colorful lithograph, we see Mr. Russell portrayed in an exaggerated manner, highlighting his devotion to his country. The artist skillfully captures the essence of the era with intricate details and vibrant colors.
