EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Commander in Chief" takes us back to the year 1863. Created by the talented artist Thomas Nast, this print was published by Currier & Ives, a renowned printing company of that era. The image showcases a young boy dressed up in an elaborate military costume, complete with a hat adorned with feathers and epaulets on his shoulders. The scene is set in what appears to be a playroom or bedroom, filled with toys and trinkets. The centerpiece of the room is a beautifully crafted rocking horse, which adds an element of whimsy to the composition. With great attention to detail, Nast captures the child's playful spirit as he assumes the role of an army general. The humor in this artwork lies in its juxtaposition: while children often engage in imaginative play and dressing up as their heroes or idols, it is amusing to see this young boy emulating such a powerful figure like a commander-in-chief. This engraving serves as both entertainment for viewers and perhaps commentary on society's fascination with authority figures. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society, this historical piece offers us insight into America's past during one of its most tumultuous periods. It reminds us of the innocence and imagination inherent within childhood while also reflecting upon larger societal themes prevalent at that time.
