Hell up to date : the reckless journey of R. Palasco Drant, newspaper correspondent, through the infernal regions, as reported by himself
Hell up to date is an 1893 satirical picture book published in Chicago by the Schulte Publishing Company, with drawings by Art Young, who created it as a humorous account of a newspaper correspondent touring the underworld. The pictures are rotated pen-and-ink cartoons of crowded, tangled figures, sprawling demons and office scenes, showing how a designer might use dense group compositions and caricatured crowds for satirical editorial work.
