About this work

This 1870 print by Thomas Nast shows a crowd on a city street gazing up through large telescopes at a comet labeled "Cheap Labor" streaking across the night sky. Protest placards, a factory building, and a speaker's platform bearing slogans about the Chinese labor question and trades unions fill the scene, with a city skyline behind.
