On the left, many businessmen and women appear in stocks and pillories for such offenses as serving guests wine on Sunday, “for shaving on Sunday,” “for delivering ice on Sunday,” “for selling a glass of beer on Sunday,” “for blacking shoes on Sunday,” and “for working the growler on Sunday.” A notice states, “Behold the Punishment of the Wicked Sabbath Breaker. Let All Evil Doers Beware.” On the right is a group of New York legislators dressed as Puritans, including Lieutenant Governor Charles T. “Saxton,” Thomas C. “Platt,” Jacob M. “Patterson,” Hamilton “Fish,” Frederick S. “Gibbs,” Warner “Miller,” Governor Levi P. “Morton,” Chauncey M. “Depew,” and Jacob S. “Fassett.” Caption: The glorious revival of blue Sundays, stocks and pillories, that our good Republican Puritans are trying to bring about.
