Deutsch: Karikatur über den als lausig empfundenen Service bei der ersten New Yorker U-Bahn. Der Zug ist als missmutiges Monstrum gezeichnet, der argwöhnisch auf die verärgerte Kundschaft schaut. Auf ihm ist zu lesen „Interborough Rattled Transit“, „Interborough-Schepperbahn“ und „Trains run at the CO's CONVENIENCE“, „Züge fahren nach Belieben des Chefs“. Das Schild auf dem Bahnsteig kündigt an, die Fahrzeit nach Harlem betrüge „drei Stunden“.
English: Political cartoon that ran in the New York Herald on March 24, 1905 regarding lousy service of the Interborough Rapid Transit (integrated into the New York City Subway in 1940). The subway car is labeled "Interborough Rattled Transit" with a sign that states "Trains run at the Co.'s convenience". Above the waiting patrons is a sign that reads "Three hours to Harlem".
Français : Caricature sur le service misérable dans « l'Interborough Rattled Transit », le « chemin de ferraille métropolitain » ou les trains « run at the CO's CONVENIENCE », sont mets en service quand le monsieur le chef le fait à sa tête.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain works must be out of copyright in both the United States and in the source country of the work in order to be hosted on the Commons.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
