EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph captures a moment of political turmoil and satire in American history. Titled "Sub treasurers taking long steps, or, The magician broke down" the print was published by H R Robinson in New York in 1838. Measuring 26x41.8 cm, it is now held at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. The image depicts Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States, running towards his estate called Hermitage while urging Martin Van Buren, his successor and the 8th President of the United States, to escape from potential damage caused by the "sub-treasury issue". This scene reflects a significant financial and political controversy during that time. Through clever caricature and satirical elements, this artwork offers commentary on finance and politics in North America during the early years of its independence. It portrays male politicians as sub-treasurers taking exaggeratedly long strides amidst chaos and uncertainty. This historical engraving provides valuable insights into American economic policies and political dynamics of that era. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society for future generations to appreciate its significance, this piece showcases how art can capture complex themes such as finance and power struggles within society.
