About this work
A colorful caricature shows a figure in a top hat and red kilt playing a lyre among clouds, surrounded by costumed figures in classical attire who represent political personalities, with Neptune, Minerva, and Mars recognizable by their attributes. Winged heads drift overhead and a barrel labeled with beer and water notes sits among the crowd. This 1884 print by Bernhard Gillam uses the myth of Olympus to satirize political corruption.
