Maker Unknown
Decorative Arts
This jug produced during William McKinley's successful presidential campaign in the mid-1890s, ridicules the candidate by likening him to Napoleon. McKinley's association with the emperor dates to his years in Congress, when his aggressive bill enforcing a protective tariff on foreign goods entering the United States earned him the nickname "Napoleon of Protection."
