The old colonial dames

The old colonial dames

Print shows a vignette cartoon with scenes of colonial men and women working at domestic and blue collar chores and jobs, leading to a scene with upper class women, each clutching an approved “Family Tree.” At center is a poem of four stanzas describing the pride that the upper class take in their ancestors, working men and women though they may have been. The final stanza encourages the “farmers’ wives who tend the Western garden rows” not to despair, because they may yet find themselves to be “some blue-bloods forebears, too.”
