EDITORS COMMENTS
is a fascinating lithograph cartoon by Currier and Ives, created in 1865. This Northern satire brilliantly captures the capture of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. The artwork depicts Davis dressed as a transvestite, wearing petticoats to symbolize his surrender and loss of power. In this thought-provoking image, we see Davis surrounded by Union troops led by Secretary of Treasury Salmon P. Chase and General Nathaniel Banks. The men are shown running away from their last stronghold, representing the final stand of Southern chivalry against an advancing Yankee army. The artist's use of satire highlights not only the military defeat but also mocks Davis' leadership and politics. By portraying him as a transvestite, it emphasizes his perceived weakness and humiliation at being captured. This lithograph serves as both historical documentation and political commentary on one of America's most significant events - the end of the Confederacy. It reflects how art can be used to convey complex ideas about war, power dynamics, and societal norms. Currier and Ives were renowned for their ability to create visually striking images that resonated with viewers across America. "The Last Ditch" is no exception; it remains an enduring representation of this pivotal moment in American history.
