At the Keyboard: Nelson Aldrich and J.D. Rockefeller in the Heart of Power, 1905 This illustration, dated March 15, 1905, depicts two of the most influential figures of the early 20th century, Nelson Aldrich and John D. Rockefeller, engaged in an intriguing activity at the United States Capitol. The image, published as a cartoon in Puck magazine, captures the duo seated at a grand piano-like keyboard, with an enchanting view of Congress in session in the background. Senator Nelson Aldrich, a prominent Republican politician and the father-in-law of President Theodore Roosevelt, is shown skillfully playing the keyboard, while J.D. Rockefeller, the renowned industrialist and founder of Standard Oil, holds a prompt book, poised to provide suggestions or cues. The scene is illuminated by the warm, inviting glow of a Standard Oil lamp, symbolizing the powerful influence of the oil industry on American politics and society. The significance of this illustration lies in the subtle yet powerful message it conveys about the interplay between wealth, power, and politics during this period. The image suggests that the wealthy elite, represented by Rockefeller, held considerable sway over the political process, with Aldrich serving as the conduit for their influence. The use of a keyboard, an instrument typically associated with music and creativity, adds an element of intrigue and alludes to the manipulation of the political landscape to suit their interests. This illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex relationship between money, power, and politics during the early 1900s, making it an essential piece of American historical art and a testament to the enduring influence of Puck magazine as a cultural touchstone.
