EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "Leading, Following, Rebelling" from 1864, is a remarkable piece of art that captures the essence of American politics during a tumultuous period in history. Created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century and now housed in the esteemed New-York Historical Society collection, this print offers a satirical commentary on leadership and rebellion. In this allegorical depiction, various political figures are portrayed as animals and mythical beings. The central figure is none other than President Abraham Lincoln himself, depicted as an angel leading a parade. Surrounding him are statesmen represented by donkeys and horses symbolizing their respective parties. A devilish character lurks nearby, representing rebellion against authority. This humorous yet thought-provoking artwork reflects the intense political climate of the time when America was embroiled in the Civil War. Through clever caricatures and symbolism, it highlights both the challenges faced by leaders like Lincoln and the rebellious spirit within society. The detailed engraving showcases not only artistic skill but also serves as a historical document capturing significant events and attitudes of its era. It reminds us that even amidst strife and division, satire can be employed to shed light on important issues while providing much-needed comic relief. As we gaze upon this intriguing print today, it serves as a reminder of our nation's past struggles for liberty and unity while encouraging us to reflect on our present-day political landscape with renewed perspective.
