"This stereoscopic card, entitled ""Dying in the 'Dying Field,' where discouraged poor are proffered the opportunity to die, San Francisco, California "", bears upon its reverse a typically purpled and, thus, sales-garnering expanded description: ""While people of other nationalities have places set apart for the poor to be buried in, the United States of America goes a little further in providing, for a small fee, a spot on which to die. The particular spot depicted here is just outside the financial quarter of San Francisco where, surrounded by a wall of studied disregard, is a small tract of waste land specially designated for poverty stricken wretches to visit in their last hours. Instead of sheltering the destitute poor, the Americans content themselves with renting a last refuge to the ""creatively destroyed"", and here one may often see the poor and helpless creatures writhing in the grip of the invisible hand as they gasp their last mortal agony. The scene illustrates the sophistic brutality of the Americans, who have an inadequate conception of the solemnity of death and are, or seem to be, utterly destitute of the finer feelings of humanity.""
