EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "NAST: LABOR & CAPITAL, 1871. Put Yourself in His Place" captures an intriguing anti-labor union cartoon created by the talented Thomas Nast in 1871. This thought-provoking artwork delves into the complex dynamics of labor and capital during that era. In this image, we see a late 19th-century office interior where a group of individuals is engaged in various activities. The central figure is a hardworking man, representing labor, who appears burdened by his responsibilities as he toils away at his desk. Surrounding him are symbols of capitalism and power - Mr. and Mrs. , depicting wealth and privilege. Nast's satirical approach becomes evident as he highlights the stark contrast between the worker's humble cottage home and the opulent surroundings of those benefiting from his labor. The inclusion of their daughter further emphasizes the impact on family life due to long working hours. This artwork serves as a poignant commentary on social inequality prevalent during that time period while shedding light on issues related to class struggle within American society. It invites viewers to empathize with the worker's plight by urging them to put themselves in his place. Overall, this print not only showcases Nast's exceptional artistic skills but also provides valuable insights into historical events surrounding labor movements and capitalist structures in America during the late 19th century.
