1901 Cartoon A Sudden Awakening by William Allen Rogers
1901 Cartoon: A Sudden Awakening
Source: "On June 22, 1901, Harper's Weekly featured a cartoon about the American steel industry."
"This Harper's Weekly cover illustrates the shock that the artist believes Europe experienced when learning of the creation of the mega-corporation, the United States Steel Corporation, in early 1901. John Bull and other personifications of European nations are rudely awakened in their shared bed by a fire-breathing, dragon-like monster with a "Made in America" train-engine head, an "American Steel" bridge torso, and appendages comprised of various products, such as guns and watches."
