Summary

[edit]
Description

"The Water Famine". Cartoon from "The Mascot", New Orleans weekly newspaper, 27 October 1894


Description: 19th century line drawing cartoon engraving. The Sun with anthropomorphic face dripping sweat looks down on scene. At left a healthy man holds a mug of beer while standing beside a keg, labeled "A good glass of beer for 5 cents". At right an anthropomorphic money-bag labeled "New Orleans Waterworks Company Monopoly" sits enthroned with a fire hydrant as an arm-rest and a broken cistern as a foot-rest. It holds a large piece of paper reading "A Fortune for Dirty Water". Below desperate citizens try to get water from dirty gutters or a rat-infested cistern, a woman raises her arms in woe, and a child lies deathly ill.
