EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Animal What Levys 'Black Mail'", a satirical caricature published by Baker, New York in approximately 1842. The lithograph measures 31.5x20.5 cm and is housed in the esteemed American Antiquarian Society located in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. The artwork humorously depicts James Gordon Bennett (1795-1872), an influential newspaper publisher and founder of the renowned New York Herald. Presented as a devilish figure with exaggerated features, Bennett's caricature embodies the essence of his controversial journalistic practices. Created by an anonymous American artist from the 19th century, this cartoon captures the spirit of satire prevalent during that era. It serves as both a critique and commentary on journalism and its impact on society at large. With its intricate details and masterful engraving technique, this piece offers a glimpse into the rich history of American media culture. Its presence within the collection of the American Antiquarian Society highlights its significance as a valuable artifact from our past. As we observe this image today, it reminds us to reflect upon how journalism has evolved over time while also raising questions about ethics and responsibility within media practices. This thought-provoking artwork continues to captivate viewers with its wit and artistic prowess centuries after its creation.
