The Wall Street Persians and the Washington Egyptians / L.M. Glackens.

description

Summary

Illustration shows the battle of Pelusium with the Persians identified as having "Vested Interests" (looking like Chauncey M. Depew), belonging to a "Wall Street Syndicate" (looking like John D. Rockefeller), or a "Railroad Trust", throwing cats labeled "Small Stock Holder, Small Investor, Widow, Little Stock Holder, [and] Orphan" at the bewildered Egyptians who are outside a building labeled "Administration" and flying a banner labeled "Federal Prosecution".

Caption: At the battle of Pelusium, between Egypt and Persia, the Persians armed themselves with cats, the sacred animals of Egypt. The disconcerted Egyptians dared not shoot their arrows, for fear of hitting holy cats.
Illus. in: Puck, v. 61, no. 1569 (1907 March 27), centerfold.
