EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "To The Chicago Convention", 1880 captures a vibrant and satirical depiction of the American political landscape during that era. Created by Joseph Keppler, this colour lithograph is part of the New-York Historical Society's collection in the USA. This image showcases a steam train, symbolizing the journey towards the Chicago Convention. With its caricatured politicians on board, it humorously portrays their quest for leadership and power. The cartoon-like figures represent various statesmen and leaders of that time, highlighting their ambitions and aspirations. Keppler's artwork cleverly combines elements of humour and political satire to comment on important themes such as elections, third terms, and American politics in general. Through his exaggerated portrayal of these politicians, he invites viewers to reflect on the state of leadership in America at that time. As an iconic piece from Puck magazine published on May 26th, 1880, this lithograph offers valuable insights into historical events while showcasing Keppler's artistic talent. Its vivid colors bring life to each character depicted within this whimsical scene. Overall, "To The Chicago Convention" serves as both a visual delight and a thought-provoking commentary on American politics during the late 19th century.
