A band of pirates on a beach gather around their booty of treasure chest and bags of gold coins. Among the pirates are John D. Rockefeller and John D. Rockefeller Jr., Henry Huttleston Rogers, Henry Morrison Flagler, and Frank Rockefeller and William Rockefeller, two brothers of John D. The pirate ship labeled “Standard Oil” is anchored just off shore. Another ship burns in the distance. All these “pirates” were executives of Standard Oil, or connected to J. D. Rockefeller. Ida Tarbell’s muckraking book The History of the Standard Oil Companyrecently had been published, and the nation was interested, and scandalized, by the doings of the Rockefellers.
