description

Summary

Uncut broadside shows gentleman seated beside writing desk and smaller male figures. The text conveys the problems of scarcity of money and of poverty--hunger--and lists the different foods that one could eat if there were money to buy them as well as articles of clothing that could be sold for cash. Two additional songs appear on the broadside: "The little virgin" and "If you could only love me." The verso is the same broadside, in reverse, so that the sheet could be cut into two broadsides.
Imp. de A. Vanegas Arroyo. 2a de Santa Teresa núm. 43. México. Octubre de 1913.
There is an identical impression on the verso.
PGA - Vanegas, no. 89 is a similar broadside. However, it contains different borders and different small male heads and figures and a small skeleton on a balance. The text and the central plate image are the same for both.
Bequest and gift; Caroline and Erwin Swann; 1977; (DLC/PP-1977:215.576).
Forms part of: Caroline and Erwin Swann collection of caricature and cartoon (Library of Congress).
