EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Scene from the New National Operetta, from Puck," was created by the renowned American artist and caricaturist, Joseph Keppler, in 1883. The image is a colorful and humorous depiction of the political climate during the nineteenth century in the United States, specifically during an election period. The scene shows a group of men, dressed in various costumes representing different political parties, gathered together in a bustling operetta setting. At the center of the stage, two prominent politicians, dressed as the Democratic and Republican parties, engage in a heated argument, while the audience, made up of other political figures and caricatures, looks on with amusement. The use of exaggerated features and humorous details adds to the overall sense of satire and parody. This work of art, which is a lithograph on newsprint, was originally published in Puck, a popular American periodical known for its political and social commentary. The image serves as an intriguing snapshot of the country's cultural heritage, offering a glimpse into the political climate and social norms of the time. Today, this historic artwork is an important addition to the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed as part of their extensive Prints and Drawings department. The image continues to captivate audiences with its vibrant colors, intricate details, and insightful commentary on the political landscape of the past.
