Fairbanks, as an old woman, sits in a rocking chair in front of a fireplace, holding a portrait of the “G.O.P.” elephant. “Blessed Are the Pacemakers” appears on a sampler above the mantle. Fairbanks is wearing a pair of shoes labeled “Nomination Sneakers,” and a basket of knitting labeled “Political Fancy Work” lies on the floor next to the chair. A cage with a bee inside is on a table labeled “Presidential Bee.”
