EDITORS COMMENTS

The "ANTI-TRUST CARTOON, 1879" is a powerful depiction of the influential figures in the railroad industry during the late 19th century. Created by Joseph Keppler, this American cartoon serves as a scathing critique of the monopoly and power held by William Henry Vanderbilt, Cyrus W. Field, and Jay Gould. In this satirical artwork, titled "The Modern Colossus of (Rail) Roads" we see these three men portrayed as towering giants with exaggerated features. Vanderbilt dominates the top portion of the image with his imposing figure and commanding presence. Meanwhile, Field and Gould are depicted at the bottom left and right respectively, emphasizing their significant roles within this trust. Keppler's caricature captures not only their physical appearance but also symbolizes their immense influence over commerce and capitalism in America during that era. The men's beards represent wisdom or authority while also alluding to their wealth. This cartoon reflects a pivotal moment in history known as the Gilded Age when robber barons like Vanderbilt, Field, and Gould amassed great fortunes through questionable practices. It also highlights political acts aimed at breaking up trusts to restore fair competition. "The Modern Colossus of (Rail) Roads" stands as an enduring reminder of both corporate greed and societal resistance against monopolistic powers during this transformative period in American history.
