1884 Puck Magazine | Police & Crime Bound by the Almighty Dollar | 15oz

$19.00
In this 1884 Puck cartoon, a police officer strolls arm in arm with a shady “policy dealer,” united not by duty or principle but— as the caption says — by the almighty dollar. It’s a crisp piece of resistance satire that cuts through the myths of policing and power, showing how public authority and private vice often move in step when profit leads the way. A sharp reminder that when power and profit align, accountability is the first thing to disappear.
