Title: The submarines; a tragic possibility of the political deep
Creator(s): Bradley, Luther Daniels, 1853-1917, artist
Date Created/Published: 1906 Nov. 1 [publication date]
Summary: Depicts two iron-clad submarines, one in the form of an elephant, and the other, in the shape of a donkey. The former labeled 'Republican Machine,' and the latter marked 'Democratic Machine,' are both surmounted by the head of a politician smoking a cigar. They are stranded at the bottom of the ocean where the elephant is entangled in chains and the fallen donkey wears a 'Help' sign attached to its tail. From within each submarine, a political boss with an alarmed expression, looks out through a porthole. A sign reading 'The Political Deep,' indicates what appears to be their final resting place.
