The Cold Grey Dawn - Uncle Sam "and this is Thanksgiving Day"
Political cartoon, circa 1910, shows a disheveled Uncle Sam sitting at a messy table in a restaurant after a wild party where too much alcohol has been consumed, there are overturned chairs, and a man labeled "Capital" lies on the floor beneath one end of the table, an overturned bottle labeled "Overspeculation" spills contents labeled "Overissue of Securitites", another bottle is labeled "Overbuilding", bottles on the floor are labeled "Waste" and "Overproduction", and a spill is labeled "Overestimation of Natural Resources"; wax from a candle on the table is labeled "Overconfidence" and a bottle next to Uncle Sam is labeled "Overcapitalization", lying on the floor at the other end of the table, among overturned chairs, is a man labeled "Labor", on the table above him is a spill labeled "Overspending" and a box of cigars labeled "Overbuying" is spilling its contents on the floor. In a broken mirror on the back wall are the words "National Vanity" and printed on a window is "Rationalism".
