| Description | Editorial cartoon in "The Mascot" newspaper, New Orleans, 21 October, 1893. "What New Orleans is and What She Might be". The top cartoon caricatures current conditions with a tram (Johnson Bobtail) drawn by an emaciated mule (only a few of the city's streetcar lines had been electrified at this date), with passengers required to help push. A muddy unpaved street is caricatured as a swamp with frogs and an alligator. The bottom cartoon shows an electric streetcar (Brill single-truck) on a well paved street; in the background new brick buildings are under construction. | ||||||
