Image description

Next! After a work by Udo Keppler published in Puck Magazine, September 1904. A view of the Standard Oil Company, Inc, at the time the world's biggest petroleum company, as an octopus with tentacles which enveloped and influenced the most important American institutions. In the picture the beast is reaching for the White House. In 1911 the Supreme Court of the United States ordered Standard Oil to be dissolved and and fragmented into 34 different companies.
