Three relate to the demise of William Jennings Bryan's candidacy, while another depicts the revolutionary general Emilio Aguinaldo, then leading troops against America in the Philippine-American War. Some or all of them appeared in Life Magazine on 22 November 1900 under the title "The Death and Burial of Cock Robin." with--5 proof sheets of the printed illustrations from this series.
