Summary[edit]

Description

"Wagner's Method Exposed"

Caricature depicts Richard Wagner and hypothesizes how his music might be made. Musicans at the top play the "Catophone" (a cat, played with a bow), "Wire-rake-oloide" (a harp played with a metal rake) and the "Tin-panium" (pans and large knives).

In the center, Wagner conducts enormous instruments that dwarf the musicians who play them.

At the bottom, a man squeezes a dog — the "Sick-em-Jackionette" — and a combination of a xylophone and pigs feeding from a trough constitute the "Porko Melodeon".
