Description:
|
Quarter page cartoon. Life magazine covers were on a variety of topics. Each issue had a theme that was introduced by the cover and reflected throughout the issue. This issue was on the city of Pittsburgh. Between 1850 and 1980, Pittsburgh was considered one of the most industrialized cities in the world and it paid the price in the form of heavy pollution. It is interesting to note that even in the early part of the 20th century, there was awareness of its pollution problems.
