Set in their ways 1911

"Set in their Ways" is a 1911 political cartoon by Louis Glackens that satirizes the resistance to progressive change. Two older figures, dressed in the traditional attire of the era, watch as a dirigible labeled "Progressive Policies" passes overhead. The image is set in Washington D.C., with the Washington Monument visible in the distance. The cartoon uses humor to highlight the anxieties about social change during a period of rapid modernization. Glackens, a prominent member of the Ashcan School, was known for his realist depictions of American life.
