EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving from 1889 titled "Anti-trust cartoon of bosses in Senate" is a satirical depiction of the power dynamics between big business trusts and workers in the United States. The caricature showcases a group of influential bosses sitting comfortably in the Senate, symbolizing their control over political decisions that favor their own interests. The artist employs clever satire to highlight the unequal relationship between these powerful bosses and the hardworking individuals they oversee. Through exaggerated features and comical expressions, this cartoon exposes the exploitative nature of these business trusts, who prioritize profit over fair treatment for workers. With its intricate details and bold colors, this print captures not only the artistic talent but also serves as an important historical document reflecting on America's industrial era. It sheds light on how monopolistic practices were prevalent during this time period, leading to widespread inequality among laborers. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image today, it reminds us of the ongoing struggle for worker's rights and fair economic policies. This artwork serves as a reminder that even in our modern world, where progress has been made towards equality, there are still battles to be fought against corporate greed and exploitation.
