The problem of the unemployed
A 1915 economic tract on unemployment, land nationalization and labor-displacing machinery, written by Henry Franklin Ring and issued by his own company in Houston, Texas, for American reform-minded readers. The plates are halftone studio portraits of middle-aged men in dark suits and stiff collars, vignetted against plain or clouded backdrops, useful for period likenesses, coarse halftone dot texture and cropped collar-and-necktie details.
