Over with the Child - A Cautionary Tale of Wall Street's Winter Woes, 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking illustration, published in Puck magazine on April 10, 1907, captures the economic turmoil and anxiety that gripped the United States during the Panic of 1907. The image depicts a sled labeled "Wall Street" being pulled relentlessly through the snowy night by a bull and a bear, symbolizing the volatile stock market. Hot on their heels is a wolf with the face of Theodore Roosevelt, representing the President's interventionist stance in economic matters. The driver of the sled, labeled "The Railroads," appears intent on throwing a small child labeled "Overcapitalization" to the wolf. This chilling scene illustrates the fear that the excessive expansion and speculation in industries, particularly railroads, would lead to economic ruin. The illustration's title, "Over with the Child!", is a reference to the popular phrase "over the river and through the woods," suggesting that the economic instability was a journey that Americans wished to leave behind. The use of a winter night setting adds to the ominous atmosphere, emphasizing the sense of urgency and danger. This cartoon serves as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by the United States during the early 20th century and the role that speculation, overexpansion, and government intervention played in shaping the country's financial landscape.
