description At center, Cornelius Vanderbilt sits in a cushioned chair in a library. A woman, identified in the caption as "First Lady Broker" (either Victoria Woodhull or Tennessee Claflin) waves her hands in front of Vanderbilt's face, apparently hypnotizing him. At Vanderbilt's side a second woman, identified in the caption as "Second Lady Broker" (either Woodhull or Claflin), kneels and writes on a piece of paper. The caption implies that Claflin and Woodhull have "mesmerized" Vanderbilt in order to sell them shares of their stocks.
