This is wonderful! It's great to see Berton Braley getting some modern attention. I've been a huge fan of his poetry for decades. My wife and I even worked some of his lines into our wedding ceremony.
It wouldn't have suited the story I was telling with the pictures, though. The young man who comes out with a family who love him is the winner, hands down every time.
I love the esthetic of these paintings.

Brilliant! Please, oh please, now do "Gods of the Copybook Headings."
now do Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "Similar Cases" (1893)

The last picture needed to be Elon and Trump. IMHO.

Oh, I know. I guess I feel like it needs an "As it was in the Beginning, 'tis now and ever shall be...." closing. Rust (and Commies) never sleep....
