Bernard Gilliam's "Phryne before the Chicago Tribunal"
This 1884 cartoon in Puck magazine ridicules Blaine as the tattooed man, with many indelible scandals. The cartoon image is a parody of Phryne before the Areopagus, an 1861 painting by French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme.
The image shows Blaine disrobed. He is dressed in short pants and a bib. His scandals are literally written all over him.
