This 1931 Illustration By Robert A. Cameron Depicts President Herbert Hoover Seated Atop The U.S. Capitol Building, Speaking Into A Vintage Rotary Telephone. The Phrase "Shoot The Works" Was A Popular Idiom In The Early 20th Century, Meaning To Give Everything You've Got, Likely Reflecting The Political And Economic Turmoil Of The Great Depression. Hoover's Leadership Was Criticized For Limited Government Intervention, Relying On Voluntarism And Private Sector Solutions, Which Many Viewed As Ineffective. The Exaggerated Scale Of Hoover Highlights His Central Role During This Crisis, While The Telephone Symbolizes Modern Communication And The Administration's Efforts To Address National Challenges. The Illustration Reflects Satirical Commentary Typical Of Political Art In The Era.
