I found this article on Ignazio Lupo. I had already seen the illustration image but not the whole article.

Also major respect for the days when newspaper headlines called gangsters "Evil Whelps".

Made me smile too. Ofcourse nobody dared to call the robber barons that, even though they were "evil whelps" on a whole different level than a bunch of Italian hoodlums on the streets of Manhattan.

But great title nevertheless. I can't imagine the editor didn't feel the slightest amount of humor when he came up with that. [emoji57]
