The annual scatter 1911

"The Annual Scatter" is a satirical illustration by American artist Louis Glackens, created in 1911. It depicts a jester in a traditional costume, scattering tiny figures from a can labeled "The Mail-Box." Glackens' work often reflected social commentary, and this artwork likely criticizes the mass-produced nature of popular culture, with the figures symbolizing individuals being blindly consumed by the media. The humorous, yet slightly unsettling imagery, is characteristic of Glackens' style, blending realism with caricature.
