Description | Cartoon shows Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall sitting on a rock in the desert, surrounded by tiny oil wells, holding a teacup. Behind him looms the Teapot Dome mountain in the shape of a teapot. A fissure on the side in the shape of a spout emits steam made up of dollar marks. The cartoon alludes to the Teapot Dome Scandal during the Harding Administration when Fall was convicted of taking a bribe to sell the rich oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming to a company represented by businessman Harry F. Sinclair. |
