Twos Company Threes a Crowd
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and thought-provoking illustration from the February 28, 1914 issue of Puck magazine. The image depicts a pivotal moment in the struggle for women's suffrage, with the caption "Twos company threes a crowd!" setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation. At the center of the scene is a determined woman, labeled "Votes for Women," holding aloft a paper labeled "The Ballot." She stands before a darkened room, where two men, labeled "Honest Graft" and "Political Boss," are huddled together, their illicit dealings obscured by the shadows. The men are intently focused on a money bag labeled "Corruption Fund," oblivious to the intrusion. Suddenly, the woman's entrance disrupts their clandestine meeting. Startled, "Honest Graft" jumps to his feet, knocking over a basket full of papers in the process. The unexpected interruption exposes the corruption that lies beneath the surface, casting a harsh light on the political machinations of the time. This illustration is a poignant reminder of the struggle for women's right to vote and the efforts of those who sought to undermine the democratic process. The image is rich in symbolism and conveys a powerful message about the importance of transparency and accountability in government. The illustration is a valuable historical artifact, showcasing the political climate of the early 20th century and the role of satirical magazines like Puck in shaping public opinion. This image, with its timeless message and compelling visual storytelling, continues to resonate with audiences today.
