Franklin Square Lithographic (sold)
Franklin Square Lithographic (fl. c. 1883 - 1886) was a short-lived New York City lithography firm active in the late 19th century. We have been able to trace just 2 separately-issued pieces with the Franklin Square imprint, though they also printed covers for the satirical weekly Judge. Despite their brief period of operation and limited output, the overall quality of their work, mostly chromolithography, is high.

This is an October 1885 Frank Beard satirical political cartoon that appeared in The Judge. It excoriates the Union Pacific Railroad for its perceived corruption, political influence, and exploitation of common folk on the Nebraska and Wyoming frontier through which the railroad ran. The cartoon was produced in the wake of the horrific anti-Chinese Rock Springs Massacre, one of the worst instances of mass violence of the era. (more details)
