EDITORS COMMENTS
The Vanished Meal: A Mystery Unraveled in the Halls of Power, 1911 In this intriguing illustration from the May 31, 1911, issue of Puck magazine, three hardworking steelworkers, unnoticed in the shadows, have made an audacious move to satiate their hunger. Through an open window of the exclusive Bankers Lunch Club, adjacent to the construction site they labor on, they have pilfered a meal worthy of the wealthy elite. The scene is set in a dimly lit room filled with the aroma of fine cuisine and the sound of clinking glasses. The club members, engrossed in their conversations and oblivious to the world outside, continue their feast. Meanwhile, the workers, perched precariously on a girder, savor each bite, their faces etched with relief and satisfaction. The mystery of the Bankers Lunch Club and its vanished meal has captivated the public's imagination. The question on everyone's mind: how did these workers manage to sneak a meal from the hallowed halls of power? The illustration, with its witty commentary and clever observation, offers a glimpse into the world of class divide and the lengths people go to satisfy their basic needs. As the workers finish their meal and prepare to return to their labor, they leave behind an empty table, a testament to the ephemeral nature of the Bankers Lunch Club's feast. The illustration serves as a reminder of the stark contrast between the haves and the have-nots, a theme that continues to resonate in our society today.
