Description
This image from the August 1, 1877, issue of the German language edition of Puck shows the negative view that many Americans had of the violence that came about during the Great Strike of 1877. The striking imagery shows Death running roughshod over Columbia and violence and destruction following in its wake, illustrating the fears of labor violence from the middle and upper classes.
