| Description | Editorial cartoon shows Hell as one of the canyons of Wall Street. At its base, a huge snowball, labeled "The Public," melts money amid flames labeled "Manipulation," "Fake Tips," "Pool," and "Corner." Small devils collect the melted money and carry it away. The cartoon reflects the cartoonist's conviction that the general public has no chance to deal fairly on Wall Street, given the stock manipulation and other unfair practices of the financiers of Wall Street. Udo Keppler was the son of Joseph Keppler, founder of Puck magazine. The son took over the art direction in 1894 after his father's death. |
