EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of political satire during the early 20th century. Titled "ANTI-TRUST CARTOON, 1902" it humorously depicts the powerful asphalt trust in America. Created by Frederick Burr Opper as part of his renowned work, An Alphabet of Joyous Trusts, this cartoon cleverly mocks the greed and influence of businessmen at the turn of the century. In this illustration, Opper skillfully portrays a businessman representing the asphalt trust with exaggerated features that symbolize their insatiable desire for money and power. The artist's use of caricature emphasizes their unscrupulous nature while highlighting their dominance in American society. The cartoon serves as a reminder of America's struggle against monopolies and antitrust issues prevalent during that era. It reflects both public sentiment towards these trusts and acts as a critique on corporate greed. As an important piece from Opper's collection, this artwork showcases his talent for combining humor with social commentary. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its representation of a pivotal period in American history when efforts were made to regulate big businesses. Whether displayed as an educational tool or appreciated for its artistic value alone, this ANTI-TRUST CARTOON offers viewers a glimpse into early 20th-century politics through satire and wit.
