 : The Sidewalks of New York, 1896


The Sidewalks of New York, 1896

Entitled: Sherlock's bold defiance: You kick me, and I'll holler bloody murder! Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society. The Strobridge Lithograph Company, 1896
