The chart graphically details the party in power from the Presidency of Washington to the second term of Grover Cleveland. Above are portraits of all the represented presidents. Below are large maps of Persia, Abyssinia, South Africa, Central America, Alaska, the Solar Systems and several hemispheres of the world. Also several thematic charts detailing the Creeds of the World, the Comparative Strengths of the Armies of the World, and comparative tons of the ships of the countries of the world. On the reverse is a large (53 x 38") map titled "Neeley's New Commercial Map of the United States, Canada, British Columbia and Northern Mexico."
