Abstract

Richard Croker, a Tammany Hall boss, is pictured as Hamlet, exiting a castle labeled "Tammany Hall," carrying a moneybag labeled "Pickings" and papers labeled "Deed $90,000 House, Ranch - Racing Stable, [and] Investm[ent] - Stock Farm." He encounters the ghost of Boss Tweed who stands at the edge of an "Abyss for Smashed Bosses," holding in his arms a moneybag labeled "Stealings" and papers labeled "'Diamond Wedding', Erie Deal, [and] 5th Avenue House." Croker is headed for the abyss. Caption: Hamlet Croker (to Ghost Tweed)--I'll follow thee!
