Title: Too far gone, John!--That balloon will never rise again / Zimmerman.
Creator(s): Zimmerman, Eugene, 1862-1935, artist
Date Created/Published: N.Y. : Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, 1885 September 2.
Summary: Illustration shows Joseph B. Foraker holding a hot air balloon fashioned from shirts stitched together and labeled 'Bloody Shirt' with the initials 'J.G.B.' for James G. Blaine. John Sherman leans over a small pot labeled 'Sectional Hatred' that is fastened to the bottom of the balloon (the basket and anchor has been discarded in the background), attempting to generate enough hot air to get the balloon off the ground by using a bellows labeled 'Stump Speeches' to fan a fire in the pot. A notice pasted on a fence on the right states 'John Sherman's Mt. Gilead Speech', a portion of the text states 'The Solid South, held together in political fellowship by crimes, violence and fraud.'
