EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, in a unique portrayal as a shepherd amongst his flock in 1885. The image is a clever representation of a civil service reform version of an old fable, with Cleveland standing proudly among government institutions like the Treasury, Supreme Bench, Office, and Post Office. In the scene, a well-dressed wolf approaches Cleveland with a piece of paper labeled "To the Victor Belong the Spoils" in his pocket. Despite the wolf's intentions to turn out corrupt Republicans in favor of spoils-hungry Democrats, Cleveland stands firm in his commitment to upholding integrity and fairness in politics. This powerful visual metaphor speaks volumes about Cleveland's dedication to political reform and his refusal to succumb to corrupt practices. It showcases him as a strong leader who values honesty and transparency above all else. The intricate details captured in this historic photograph offer viewers a glimpse into the complexities of American politics during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of Cleveland's legacy as a statesman who prioritized civil service and fought against political corruption.
