A cartoon featured in the July 1851 Harper's New Monthly Magazine. In the cartoon “Filling Up the Census Paper”, a husband and wife are depicted in their home. The woman reviews the responses her husband has provided for a Census questionnaire. The caption reads "Upon my word, Mr. Peewitt! Is this the way you fill up your census paper?
