Puck's Gratis Advice to Some Editorial Shriekers for Grant: 'Don't Forget Your Man on Horseback - but Your Man on Foot Has Too Many Curs at His Heels' (July 17, 1878) This intriguing political cartoon, created by the renowned cartoonist Puck, offers a satirical commentary on the political climate of the United States in 1878. The image depicts Uncle Sam, seated on the steps of a grand building, with an equestrian statue of Ulysses S. Grant standing beside him. Grant, who is depicted as a man on foot, is shown walking away from Uncle Sam, followed by a group of men identified as George M. Robeson, Murphy, Orville E. Babcock, William W. Belknap, Shepherd, Williams, and William A. Richardson. These men are portrayed as dogs, with tails wagging and snarling, symbolizing their loyalty and allegiance to Grant. The caption of the cartoon, 'Puck's Gratis Advice to Some Editorial Shriekers for Grant: "Don't Forget Your Man on Horseback - but Your Man on Foot Has Too Many Curs at His Heels,"' adds to the satirical tone of the image. The term 'editorial shriekers' refers to those who write editorials or opinion pieces, and the phrase 'curs at his heels' implies that these individuals are causing trouble or creating distractions for Grant. The reference to 'Man on Horseback' likely refers to those in positions of power or authority, riding high and looking down on those below. The image serves as a commentary on the political landscape of the time, highlighting the tensions and divisions within the political sphere. The use of animals to represent political figures was a common technique used by political cartoonists during this period, allowing for a more exaggerated and humorous portrayal of political figures and their actions. Overall, this cartoon provides a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the late 19th century and the role of satire in shaping public opinion.
