At center, a carte-de-visite photograph labeled “The horrible photo-portrait of present” is juxtaposed to a portrait painting labeled “the fine old Gilbert Stuart portrait of yesterday.” Other vignettes compare the days of old to the modern ways, such as “Ye ancient stage coach is – supplanted by the flying ‘Mobile'” and “Dear old Broadway of yore and – as it is now.”
