Copyright 1997 State Historical Society of Wisconsin SHSW Location: Classified 6728 Notes: Negative no.: W Hi (x3) 14579 Typed on back: "Photograph by Underwood & Underwood, N.Y. Human Interrogation Points Enlisted by Eugenic Forces. A curious looking group of men invaded Wall Street the community of sleek bankers, spick and span brokers and well groomed clerks and office boys, carrying signs on which some very pertinent questions were asked. As intended by the Eugenic Forces which employed the men to parade the financial district, they were soon the center of a mass of a thousand. The signs explain themselves. One of the bearers said he was employed by a medical society at 206 Broadway. This is the office of the editor of the Medical Review of Reviews who recently offered a prize of $1000 for the 'perfect eugenic marriage.'" Modifications: The image is approximately 1/8th size original. Drop shadow border added; colors reduced to sixteen grays. |
