Our Uncrowned Kings: A 1904 Homage to the Unsung Heroes of Society This illustration, titled "Our Uncrowned Kings," dates back to March 9, 1904, and was published in various newspapers and magazines. The image presents a striking contrast between the reverence shown to three humble figures on the left and the defiance towards a grand equestrian statue of King George III in the center. On the left side of the illustration, three statues are depicted, each representing the roles of a Cook, a Walking Delegate, and a Head Waiter. The people around them are shown in various acts of veneration, from deep bows to kneeling, as if these unsung heroes were royalty in their own right. On the right side, three more statues symbolize the importance of the Coachman, Car Porter, and Janitor. Once again, the crowd pays homage to these essential workers, demonstrating their appreciation for their contributions to society. In the center of the illustration, Puck, the mischievous sprite from mythology, unfurls a banner that inspires the people to follow the example of their forefathers in 1776. The banner shows citizens pulling down the equestrian statue of King George III, symbolizing the revolution that led to the birth of American democracy. This illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and appreciating the unsung heroes in our society, who, like the cooks, waiters, coachmen, porters, and janitors, play crucial roles in our daily lives. Their dedication and hard work are the foundation upon which our communities thrive, and their contributions should be celebrated and cherished.
