Creator(s): Wales, James Albert, 1852-1886, artist
Date Created/Published: N.Y. : Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, 1881 September 7.
Summary: Print shows New York Herald editor James Gordon Bennett, holding a shotgun and carrying a bag labeled 'Game Bag for Sensations J.G. Bennett', standing next to a scarecrow labeled '$500.00 Herald Cheque' and 'This is not the Original Hartman'; the scarecrow, armed with bombs, a knife and a handgun, looks like Leo Hartmann who was apparently involved in the 1879 assassination attempt of Alexander II, Emperor of Russia. Looking over a stone wall is Secretary of State James G. Blaine who stated in the press that he could not make a statement regarding the extradition of Hartmann prior to a request for such action by Russian authorities. In the background, on a mound of earth labeled 'Russia', Alexander III, Emperor of Russia, is sitting on a large chair labeled 'Chair of Alexander III', reading the 'New York Herald'; an opening in the chair is labeled 'The Real and Only Hartman Private Office' and shows a man who also looks like Leo Hartmann, waving.
