EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricate chromolithograph, titled "Loves labors lost" captures a moment of political satire from the pages of Puck Magazine in 1884. The print depicts James G. Blaine, a prominent figure heavily tattooed with scandals, sitting on a stool while two men attempt to remove his tarnished reputation. Whitelaw Reid, armed with a brush labeled "Tribune Excuses" and an "Explanation Pumice Stone" joins forces with William W. Phelps using "Vindication Sand Paper". Together, they diligently work to erase the scandalous tattoos that have marred Blaine's image. The floor surrounding them is littered with various cleaning agents such as "W. Walter Phelps Sophistry Acid" "Borax False Arguments" and even a bucket of "Tribune Cleaning Fluid". A portrait of Joseph W. Keifer hangs on the wall behind them, humorously labeled as W. Phelps' previous failed attempt at cleaning. In the background, beyond an American flag curtain, we catch glimpses of other notable figures like William M. Evarts and John Logan engaged in conversation or observation. This artwork not only showcases Gillam Bernard's artistic talent but also serves as biting commentary on the efforts made by politicians to cleanse their reputations amidst scandalous controversies during this era in American politics.
