Item Description
1.25" w/W&H 1900 back paper. Design a little off center bottom but a slight tilt makes all the text easily visible as "International Convention/I. P. P. & A. U./Milwaukee 1900". These initials represent International Printing Pressmen & Assistants Union. The cartoon, with a "burst" design outer edge, shows work table at left with a large ink roller with handles sitting on a red rectangular plate. To the right is the stocky, older, master craftsman with his sleeves rolled up, wearing a work apron with four ink hand prints on the front. His left hand holds a tall clear glass full of beer with a foamy head. His right hand holds the tin beer pail and his kneeling assistant is attempting to catch in his mouth a drip of beer sloshing over the rim. Both men are wearing wood clogs (sabots), a shoe associated with the working classes during the Industrial Revolution. Glossy and NM as made. One known. This is photo example used (p. 57) for Button Power: 125 Years of Saying It With Buttons by Christen Carter and Ted Hake. Comes w/Hake's COA.
