General William R. Shafter, larger than life, is pictured in Europe standing before the rulers of France (Felix Faure), Austria (Franz Joseph I), Germany (William II), Italy (Umberto I), and Russia (Nicholas II), and with John Bull representing England. They bow, tip their hats, and salute him, acknowledging his success during the Spanish-American War. Depicted in an insert is the treatment Shafter received in the United States from the dogs of “Yellow Journalism” and hands with pointing fingers labeled “Amateur Magazine Strategist” and “Know-it-all Critic” holding a quill pen labeled “Hate,” and other hands labeled “Sensationalism” and “Impudent Newspaper Reporter” holding clubs labeled “Malice” and “Revenge,” as well as a boot labeled “Jealousy.” Caption: How our hero of the most remarkable campaign of the century is regarded abroad, and how some of us treat him at home.
