Description
Two editorial cartoons dealing with child labor republished in Cartoons Magazine, vol. 3, no. 4 (April 1913), p. 239.
At top: A cartoon by F. T. Richards, originally published in the Philadelphia North American. Wearing a top hat with ribbons and smoking a cigar, a heavyset "Child Labor Exploiter" rides in a chariot pulled by weary, starving children.
At bottom: A cartoon by Thomas May, originally published in the Detroit Times. A girl in ragged clothes works at a treadle sewing machine, while a heavyset man smoking a cigar and holding a whip watches. Behind her is a stack of other work. A crate for finished items is marked "Greed and Bleed. New York City" A sign on the wall says "Sweat Shop."
