EDITORS COMMENTS
Will He Go in The Traces: A Political Caricature from the 1879 Puck Magazine by James Albert Wales This lithograph, titled "Will He Go in The Traces?" was created by James Albert Wales and published in the August 27, 1879 issue of Puck Magazine. The image is a colorful and humorous caricature that depicts a donkey, a symbol of the Democratic Party, with its hind leg raised, as if about to be kicked. The donkey is shown standing in a rural setting, with traces (harness) in hand, suggesting the upcoming presidential campaign and election. The cartoon is a testament to the rich political satire that was prevalent during the 19th century in America. James Albert Wales, a skilled artist and illustrator, expertly captured the essence of the political climate of the time through his depiction of the donkey as a bumbling and clumsy figure. The use of humor and visual parody was a popular way to engage the public and comment on current events. This lithograph, which measures approximately 13 x 10 inches, is a color lithograph on newsprint and is a valuable addition to any collection of historic American art. It is an intriguing artifact that offers a glimpse into the political culture of the late 19th century and the role of satire in shaping public opinion. Today, this rare and historic print can be found in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is a cherished piece of heritage art that continues to captivate and inspire visitors. The image is a reminder of the power of art to reflect and comment on the events and issues of the day, and the enduring importance of preserving these cultural treasures for future generations.
