Label TextRalph Barton was among the most popular caricaturists of the 1920s. Here he illustrates a poem by Walt Mason, known as the poet of the people for his homespun stories and poems. The visual parodies mock both urban and rural characters to a grotesque degree, manipulating distortion of the figures for satiric purposes.

They cry out upon work, bewailing their divinely appointed lot, forgetful, my brethren, of the heavenly law which ordains that only through toil and tribulation, by the narrow path of self-denial, may we enter into the higher values of spiritual blessedness...let us pray!"
