About this work
A colored lithograph by Bernhard Gillam, dated 1884, shows a crowded U.S. Recruiting Office where many bearded and top-hatted men wait in line, each carrying paper tags with written reasons for rejection such as too crooked or no backbone. A figure in star-spangled attire presides beside a weighing scale, while uniformed men at the right are admitted to competition. The composition uses exaggerated caricature to comment on political candidates and their qualifications.
