Political Cartoon, "The Age of Brass," 1869

Published by Currier & Ives in 1869, this political cartoon shows the shift in United States culture as people are encouraged to "Vote for the Celebrated Man Tamer Susan Sharp-Tongue" Note the images of decadence (exposed ankles, smoking), cross-dressing (women in pants and masculine attire), and perhaps the most shocking: a man holding a child.
