1896 Punch cartoon 'The Great Unknown' Tapestry
A VERY neato full color Punch cartoon from the mid-1890s. The scene shows two magicians, the one on the left having the word 'Grosvenor' on his sleeve, the other holding a book marked 'Funds.' Both are wearing pendants marked with a question sign. Between them it reads 'I am the Veiled Mahatma of Prosperity! Believe in ME, ask no questions, and you will all roll in riches!!!' Some men in the audience are wearing banners which read 'Gold Bug,' 'Free Silver Crank,' '(illegible) Protection Fanatic.' Other banners are hanging from the ceiling: 'Trusts,' 'Monopolists,' etc.
At the time a lot was going on: labor unrest, tariffs, currency policy (look up William Jennings Bryan's 'Cross of Gold' speech), patronage, the rich getting richer, and the poor getting poorer.
Almost like today.
A neat gift for the politically aware, the labor activist, anyone interested in late 19th century history. Also a great thing for the antique decor, eclectic decor, union hall decor.

The product was BETTER that what I expected. The quality was great and the size of the backdrop was HUGE, in a good way! The printing turned out GREAT and the colors popped. The lettering was crisp. I am very satisfied.

This tapestry came exactly how the picture looked. Everyone loved it! We put it behind our gift table at our no wrap shower display so it was center of attention. I got it dry cleaned just to make it look crisp as well! Printing was perfect and clear

Creator Review
I wanted happier curtains in this window so I made a seamless repeat in the things and colors that make me happy and ordered them in this tapestry then made curtain rod pockets. I love how it came out and I can use the fabric to make something else when I’m tired of them. Excellent. The colors are bright and look great the fabric is soft and hangs well.
