EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and satirical 1880 colour lithograph that offers a humorous commentary on the political landscape of its time. Created by Joseph Keppler, this artwork showcases his talent for caricature and wit. In this lively scene, we witness an extravagant parade led by the "Political Army of Salvation". The procession features a diverse group of supporters marching towards the Capitol, symbolizing their unwavering dedication to their chosen candidate or cause. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, Keppler's caricatures bring each character to life. This print captures the essence of American politics in the late 19th century. It highlights both the absurdity and fervor surrounding campaigns during that era. Through clever satire, Keppler sheds light on various aspects of government and society at large. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in every element of this composition. From the meticulously drawn costumes to the intricate background scenery, there is much to explore within this piece. "The Political Army of Salvation" serves as a reminder that political cartoons have long been an essential tool for social commentary. This timeless artwork continues to resonate today as it did over a century ago – reminding us not only to laugh at ourselves but also to critically examine our political systems with humor and insight.
