EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph, titled "The Campaign," is a political satire created by renowned cartoonists Joseph Keppler and Bernhard Gillam for the American magazine, Puck, between 1880 and 1889. The scene depicts a chaotic election campaign, with a group of men gathered around a tent, each trying to influence the vote of a hesitant fox. In the background, soldiers in military uniforms, representing various politicians and political parties, engage in heated debates and arguments. The central figure, a fox wearing a "Vote for Hancock" badge, symbolizes the undecided voter, as foxes were often used as a symbol of cunning and indecisiveness in political cartoons of the time. The candidate in question is Winfield Scott Hancock, a prominent Democrat and Union Army general during the American Civil War. The satirical image reflects the political climate of the late 19th century United States, with its depiction of the chaos and confusion surrounding the election process. The use of color and the detailed illustration add to the vibrancy and energy of the scene, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic political art. This piece, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insight into the political events and concepts that shaped the United States during the 1880s.
