The Official Scapegoat: A Chilling Depiction of Corruption from a Turn-of-the-Century Magazine This haunting illustration, published in Puck magazine on February 1, 1905, under the title "The Official Scapegoat," offers a chilling glimpse into the corrupt underbelly of the financial world at the turn of the twentieth century. The unidentified man in the illustration sits in a prison cell at Sing Sing, but far from the drab uniform and somber surroundings one might expect, he is dressed in a sharp business suit and busily doling out money through windows labeled "Cashier," "Vice-Pres.," and "President." The money pours in through the windows in scoops, as if this man is the very embodiment of greed and corruption. The man's attire and actions suggest that he is not just any inmate, but rather a high-ranking official who has used his position to engage in fraudulent activities. The "Star of Hope," the Sing Sing Prison bulletin, is visible in his back pocket, adding a layer of irony to the scene. The image is a stark reminder of the power and influence that corrupt individuals could wield, even from behind bars. This illustration serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of unchecked power and greed, and the lengths some may go to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. The image is a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling and the ability of art to shed light on the darker aspects of society.
