Merchants of Death
Artist: Mabel Dwight
Circa: 1918

Mabel Dwight, one of America’s foremost lithographers of the early 20th century, was known for combining sharp social commentary with incisive humor. Merchants of Death (1918) depicts a grim skeleton leading a procession of top-hatted businessmen, a biting satire on the profiteers of war during the aftermath of World War I. The lithograph embodies Dwight’s gift for allegory, exposing the corruption and greed behind human suffering while using stark contrasts and caricature to drive her point home.
