William McKinley is depicted as Napoleon I, wearing the hat, coat, and sword in the style of Napoleon, standing on a pedestal labeled “Protection,” with a tiny wreath labeled “From Southern Friends” lying on the base. On the left, a large female figure wearing a striped dress stands on a platform next to a pedestal labeled “Trilby Craze.” A group of people place wreaths of “Adoration” at her feet. Caption: Napoleon McKinley–Say, what’s the matter with those blooming jays? Don’t they know there’s a Napoleonic revival now going on?
