EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "The Old Soldier and the Pauper," was created by renowned political satirists Joseph Keppler and Bernhard Gillam for the American magazine "Puck" between 1880 and 1889. The image showcases a group of men gathered around a horseback rider identified as President Grover Cleveland, who is dressed as a soldier. Cleveland, the Democrat and the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, is shown addressing a crowd of soldiers and prisoners, who represent the various factions of American society during the 1880s. The satirical piece, published in the 19th century, was a commentary on the political climate of the time, with Cleveland depicted as a strong military leader who could bring unity to the country. The use of caricature and parody was common in the pages of "Puck," and this piece, in particular, highlights the racial and socio-economic tensions that existed during the period. The color lithograph, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical context of American politics and the role of satire in shaping public opinion.
