This black and white illustration depicts a stark power dynamic. A towering, imposing figure in a suit and glasses looms over a small, mechanical automaton. The figure is dramatically oversized, emphasizing his dominance. He's bending down, gesturing emphatically with one hand towards the automaton, while holding papers in the other. The automaton is depicted as a thin, angular figure with a visible mechanical structure, resembling a puppet or robot. It appears to be frozen in place, with a blank expression. The automaton is surrounded by scattered papers. The style is reminiscent of early 20th-century caricature, with exaggerated features and sharp lines. The floor is a simple, flat plane. The caption below the image reads: “Robert Keable urging the automaton called Citizen to turn on his oppressor.”
