This vintage engraving of a Victorian satirical cartoon, titled "Rich man strives to rise, by the poor man's labor" encapsulates the complex dynamics of capitalism and class system prevalent in the 19th century. The allegorical artwork portrays a stark contrast between the wealthy upper class and the struggling working class. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this antique lithograph captures both history and humor. The illustration depicts a rich man climbing up a ladder made out of hardworking individuals from the lower classes. This clever satire highlights the greed and inequality inherent in society at that time. The artist skillfully uses comedy to shed light on social issues surrounding wealth disparity.

It serves as a reminder of how far we have come while also urging us not to forget our past struggles. Duncan1890's careful restoration has preserved every nuance of this piece, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance even today. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by political cartoons from yesteryears, this print is sure to spark conversations about power imbalances and societal structures that continue to shape our world today.
