The Octopus of Monopoly Size:XL: 100 x 75cm This is a satire on'The Octopus of Monopoly, 1888. Commerce battles the Monster octopus called Monopoly. The little boat, Free Competition, is being pulled under the waves by the tentacles of Copper, Salt, Iron, Coal and Cotton.

From Punch, or the London Charivari, November 3, 1888.
