Looking him up, he & his father (who founded it) were the editors of Puck magazine, America's 1st political cartoon/satire magazine.
I didn't research too deeply, the family was Austrian/German, and I suspect they were of the Marxist bent (could be way off base here, though).
Lest we think the troubles, particularly in the media that we face today are anything 'new', I submit, from Puck, this:
Yes, I assumed it was an editorial cartoon, because of “GREED” on the sleeves, but I decided to use it anyway because its portrayal of the angry crowd was so convincing.
It caught my eye too. I was thinking it might be “Puck” as it was the most radical of the weekly papers of the period. Too much so for it to be “Harpers” or “Judge”.
