EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical illustration by Frederick Burr Opper from 1884 depicts the infamous "three honest men" of Wall Street declaring their support for James G. Blaine, the Republican presidential candidate at the time. Russell Sage, Jay Gould, and Cyrus W. Field are portrayed as the Three Musketeers, with their swords raised in a show of solidarity.
However, instead of noble titles like "Athos," "Porthos," and "Aramis," these characters are labeled with less flattering descriptors - Sage is called a "Put-and-Call Gambler," Gould is dubbed a "Railroad Wrecker," and Field is branded an "Elevated R.R. Grabber." This clever twist on classic literary figures highlights the questionable ethics and practices associated with these powerful men in finance.
The image captures a moment in history when political allegiances were heavily influenced by financial interests, particularly on Wall Street. It serves as a reminder that even those who appear to be pillars of society may have ulterior motives driving their actions.
Opper's skillful use of satire and caricature brings to light the complexities of power dynamics in politics and business during this era. The print serves as both a humorous commentary on the state of affairs at that time and a cautionary tale about trusting those who claim to be honorable without question.
