  • An IMPENDING CRISIS: The Difficult Position of a Statesman Who Wants to Please the Rural and Placate the City Voter

    A political cartoon depicting U.S Senator Orville H. Platt riding towards the White House with politicians (Warner M. and Lauterbach) trying to get him to choose between Liberal Sunday Law (liberal law) and Strict Sunday Law (conservative law). The political cartoon represents the uncertainty that Democrats feel about Platt because the illustrator believes Platt is going through in order to please voters. Because Platt was a prominent Republican figure in the 1890s, this political cartoon represents how he would ignore his political duties to listen to the opinions of others (rich businessmen). https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1895-09-28/ed-1/seq-1/ Page 1

  • A LITTLE OF THIS BAGHDAD STYLE, Roosevelt Has Been Doing the Arabian Nights Act - Here’s a Chance for Strong

    A political cartoon portraying William Lafayette Strong preparing to attack an ex-boss. The political cartoon portrays Strong as a brute who will mercilessly chop off the head of the ex-boss while the ex-boss is cowering on his knees in fear. The illustration takes an orientalist (particularly, Arabian) theme as Strong and the ex-boss are represented in Arab clothing, the architecture of the building they are in takes from Arabic designs, and the sword that Strong holds resembles that in which characters from the Arabian Nights story would carry. While the political cartoon can be described as representing Arabic culture in a degrading manner, the political symbolism within the illustration represents Strong as greedy (the reason why could be due to his association with the Republican party). https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1895-05-03/ed-1/seq-3/ Page 3

  • R.H. MACY & CO., Spring Clothing For Men and Boys

    An advertisement for men’s coats, vests, and suits. In the advertisement, an illustration of a man wearing a suit and tophat is presented. The illustration of the man represents how masculinity (appearing fashionable) was portrayed in American society as the man was sketched to appear formal and dignified to persuade consumers to purchase clothing from Macy’s.

  • NO CIGARETTES FOR BOYS, Public School Children Bought Them of a Woman

    An article describing how E.H Hubbell (the Commissioner of Education for the state of New York) accused Susan Balter of selling cigarettes to Charles McGovern and John Keheler (both were twelve-year-old boys). This article demonstrates how citizens focused on moralizing youth (by preventing them from smoking cigarettes) and how the New York Board of Education dealt with affairs.

  • The Streets of New York

    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.

  • A Single-Taxer Sings

    A letter (in the form of a poem) by S.T.A. to The Trinity Corporation advocating to remove the “single tax”. S.T.A. notes that the “single tax” promotes “injustice” and “discourages landlordism,”. His letter demonstrates how citizens used newspapers such as the New York World to speak their opinions about economic concerns. https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1895-01-01/ed-1/seq-4/ Page 4
