The Election of 1888 - The Republican Wave Sweeps Away the Democratic Tide,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Joseph Keppler and Bernhard Gillam, Puck Magazine, 1888. This and thought-provoking lithograph, created by the renowned team of Joseph Keppler and Bernhard Gillam for Puck Magazine between 1880 and 1889, offers a vivid and allegorical representation of the political climate during the United States presidential election of 1888. The image personifies the two major political parties, the Democrats and the Republicans, as distinct bodies of water. On the left, a tranquil and calm Democratic tide, represented by a serene woman in traditional Victorian dress, flows gently over a landscape adorned with lush greenery and a picturesque lake. On the right, a tumultuous and powerful Republican wave, symbolized by an energetic woman in modern apparel, crashes against the shore, disrupting the peaceful scene. The allegorical figure of America, depicted as a woman standing in the foreground, gazes intently at the approaching Republican wave, her expression hinting at a sense of excitement and anticipation. The geographical features in the background, such as mountains and a river, further emphasize the vastness and complexity of the United States. This colorful and satirical print, which was originally published in Puck Magazine, serves as a fascinating glimpse into the artistic school of the late 19th century and the political climate of the United States during this period. The intricate details and nuanced symbolism make it a valuable addition to any collection of historic illustrations or political art.
