Visual trope used since the early 20th century to represent extreme poverty
Shanty float with foot contingent wearing bankruptcy barrels for a Great Depression themed parade entry
The bankruptcy barrel is a visual symbol, primarily of the 20th century, used in cartoons and other media as a token of destitution. Not intended to be realistic, it consists of a suit made of only a wooden barrel held on by suspenders, indicating that the subject is so poor that he is unable to afford even clothes. It was a common representation of bankruptcy, appearing in many animated shorts, political cartoons, comedies,[1] and other media.[2]
