About this work

This chromolithographic satirical print by Bernhard Gillam, dated 1884, shows a row of European nobles in military and formal dress lined up on a stage like goods for sale, each with a placard listing his title and annual income demand. Wealthy American men in top hats and young women in elaborate dresses stand in the room, and a seated woman reads Burke's Peerage while a bag labeled one million dollars hangs at a man's side. The composition mocks transatlantic marriages arranged for money and status.
