EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled unknown, was created by Joseph Keppler and Bernhard Gillam for the renowned American magazine, Puck, between 1880 and 1889. The image showcases a satirical take on the fashion trends and societal norms of the 1880s in the United States. The cartoon depicts a group of creditors, dressed in outdated clothing, gathered in front of a modern, ornate building facade. The building, a symbol of progress and prosperity, stands in stark contrast to the outdated attire and outdated hats of the creditors. The swindler, dressed in a top hat and a dapper suit, exits the building, leaving the creditors empty-handed. The use of color and detail in this lithograph is truly remarkable for the time, adding to the overall impact and humor of the piece. The various textures and patterns in the clothing, from the stripes on the creditors' coats to the intricate designs on the swindler's dress, add depth and character to the illustration. This satirical work by Keppler and Gillam provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and political climate of the late 19th century in America. It is a testament to the power of art and satire to both entertain and provoke thought, making it an invaluable addition to the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
