James Gillespie Blaine, wearing swimming trunks, sits on a board extending over a pond, with John Alexander Logan, as a dog, sitting next to him. Blaine’s body is tattoed all over, with “”Bluster, Mulligan, Guano Statesmanship, [and] Pacific Bonds.” A can labeled “Pro-Slavery” is tied to the dog’s tail and there is a bar of soap labeled “Hurrah Soap to Remove Tattoo” on the shore-end of the board.
