EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Henry Harriman, a prominent figure in American history. Known as an influential railroad magnate, Harriman's legacy is depicted in this satirical caricature by Luther Daniels Bradley from 1907. The drawing humorously portrays him as the new Union Station in Washington, D. C. , symbolizing his power and influence over railroads across the country. Harriman's distinctive features are highlighted with great detail - his moustache, eyeglasses, and intense gaze capture the essence of a man driven by ambition. This artwork serves as a political commentary on the era of monopolies and robber barons that characterized early 20th-century America. The artist skillfully conveys the concept of greed through this cleverly crafted illustration. With open arms, Union Station appears to be swallowing up smaller railroads from all directions, representing Harriman's insatiable appetite for expansion and control within the transportation industry. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that Harriman was not just another financier but rather a force to be reckoned with during his time. His impact on North American transportation cannot be understated. This print offers viewers a glimpse into turn-of-the-century America while shedding light on one man's quest for dominance amidst an era marked by anti-monopoly sentiments. It serves as both an artistic representation of history and a reminder of how individuals can shape industries through their determination and vision.
