Label TextIn 1911 a fire on the eighth floor of the Triangle Waist Company in Lower Manhattan lead to the deaths of 146 garment workers, mostly young immigrant women. Sloan, who lived nearby, was outraged and made two powerful political cartoons addressing the incident. The text on this page may represent captions he considered for these works, or a concept for another cartoon. Sloan also advocated for women's suffrage in cartoons from the 1910s. The captions seem unrelated to the sketch of men operating a printing press.
