The identity of artist Mr Forsyth is unknown at this time. This sheet was issued separately and along with a single-sheet text supplement to the issue of the Evening Press" 6 June 1891. The supplement's text included a fiction story and other chatty text items, but no mention of the Unemployed subject. In the issue for 6 June itself, was a short paragraph about Unemployment in the column "The Labour Interest", a column initiated and announced as a regular feature around ten days prior to 6 June, as labour issues had been growing in importance. The following month, the Woodville Examiner, 15 July 1891, page 2 printed a letter from a member of the Unemployed at the Pahiatua camp.
