Creator(s): Keppler, Joseph Ferdinand, 1838-1894, artist
Date Created/Published: N.Y. : Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, 1882 March 15.
Summary: Print shows a ship labeled 'Wrecked Corporation' and 'Insurance Co. Bankrupt' that has wrecked on rocks with a darkened lighthouse labeled 'Trust' and 'Justice' nearby; its light has been snuffed by 'Judge' and 'Corruption'. Victims of the wreck, some clinging to the ship, others in the water, are labeled 'Policy Holder' and 'Pillaged Policy Holder'. A rope from the ship to shore is held by a 'Receiver', a 'Lawyer', and a 'Shore Shark', and is coiled around a money bag labeled 'Fee'. Another 'Lawyer', using a gaff, reaches for a barrel labeled 'Fees' that bobs in the water near the ship. Standing near the lighthouse is a man labeled 'Referee' who is holding a pan labeled 'False Beacon' that spews illuminated smoke labeled 'By Order of the Court'; he burns papers labeled 'Waste, Outrageous Extravagance, Extortion, [and] Cost'.
