Summary: Illustration shows a number of historical figures enjoying the pleasant atmosphere of 'Sheol' after suffering the flames of Hell; at left is a dejected Devil sitting beneath a sign that states 'This Business is Removed to Sheol, Opposite'. Among those ferried across the river by 'Charon' are 'Hypatia, Fanny Elssler, Voltaire, Frederick [the] Great, Socrates, J. Offenbach, Darwin, J.S. Mill, Rousseau, George Sand, Galileo, Jefferson, Th. Paine, Goethe, [and] H. Heine'.
Notes:
Title from item.
Caption: According to the new version of the Old Testament, many respectable people who have been writhing in the old fashioned Hell will have to be transferred to the pleasant watering-place known as 'Sheol.' This is Puck's notion of the evolution of Hell to Sheol.
