Description:
|
Full page cartoon. The proverb that titles this cartoon is believed to have been first published in 1546 by John Heywood. It meant at the time that there were terrible events that benefited nobody. Later, the same expression meant the opposite: that no matter how bad something is, somewhere, someone will benefit. This cartoon seems to take on the second meaning. 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 was the "Christmas Number."
