The Streets of New York
Description
A political cartoon representing the filth of New York through exaggerated illustration. In the political cartoon, a man walks the streets of New York where the streets are filled with fog and death (represented by the Grim Reaper and the fog surrounding him). The man could be viewed as someone who is not a New Yorker and is touring the city. The political cartoon symbolizes the illustrator’s opinion that the streets of New York were dirty and needed to be cleaned.
