☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "It Makes a Big Difference Where You Are," Eugene Zimmerman delivers a striking political satire through vivid, symbolic imagery: President Cleveland stands firm behind a wall of flames labeled "Civil Service Reform," while his cabinet labors on the Government Farm. In the foreground, locusts—depicted as political rivals—are driven back by smoke and fumes, collapsing under the heat. Zimmerman’s masterful work as writer, artist, inker, and colorist brings this 1885 political allegory to life, with his own cover pencils and inks adding a sharp, expressive edge to the scene.
