Title
Not Moving To-Day: Tenants Who Are Satisfied With Their Present Quarters
Description
A political cartoon portraying white men being lazy and smoking in the Manhattan Flats tenement while the landlord (man in background) tries to kick them out. The lazy nature, use of newspapers, and liquor bottles on the ground shows the property that the men own while their gestures indicate that they are satisfied with their lives in tenements. Whether the political cartoon represents positive views towards tenements or that wealthy white men are taking over tenement spaces is up for interpretation.
