A female figure sits on a stone bench writing a list of names in a large book, including “McKinley, Dewey, Sampson, Schley, Hobson and his crew, Wainwright, Clark, Miles, Shafter, Wheeler, Roosevelt, [and] Wood.” Behind her, Puck has erected two monuments on a “Barren Island,” topped with statues of “Pulitzer” and “Hearst.” Each monument is papered with yellow sheets of paper that give credit for the success of the American forces in Spanish-American War to both Pulitzer and Hearst. Caption: He erects a monument to two celebrities that history has neglected.
