EDITORS COMMENTS
The political landscape of the United States in 1888 was captured in this vivid cartoon print of Benjamin Harrison, the Republican candidate for president. Known for his visionary approach to foreign politics, Harrison is depicted breaking ties with Uncle Sam standing on the side of the road with a drink in hand. The elephant symbolizes the Republican party, showcasing their strength and determination during the race for presidency.
Created by illustrator W.A. Rogers, this color engraving captures the essence of American politics in the late nineteenth century. The image reflects a time when campaigns were filled with satire and humor, as candidates vied for votes and support from the American people.
Harrison's campaign was marked by his bold stance on international relations and his commitment to advancing America's interests abroad. This cartoon serves as a reminder of a pivotal moment in history when leaders like Harrison sought to shape America's role on the global stage.
As we look back at this piece of art from over a century ago, we are reminded of how far our nation has come and how important it is to remember our past as we navigate through present-day challenges.
