The Political Barbecue - Going the Whole Hog
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that serves as an anti-Andrew Jackson cartoon from 1835. This thought-provoking artwork, created during the early years of America's democratic party, cleverly depicts President Jackson and his political acts through symbolism and satire. In this vivid illustration, we see a group of men gathered around a grill, symbolizing the American political landscape. The central figure represents Andrew Jackson himself, portrayed as a pig being roasted on the barbecue. This portrayal suggests that Jackson's actions are being scrutinized and criticized by those who oppose him. The artist skillfully incorporates various elements to convey their message. The use of pork in this context alludes to accusations of corruption within Jackson's administration. Furthermore, the presence of other men surrounding the grill implies that there is widespread disapproval towards his policies. This cartoon not only reflects public sentiment towards President Jackson but also highlights concerns about abuse of power and questionable decision-making in politics at large. It serves as a reminder that even influential figures should be held accountable for their actions. "The Political Barbecue - Going the Whole Hog" stands as both a historical artifact and an artistic commentary on American democracy during its formative years. Its enduring relevance invites viewers to reflect upon past political controversies while considering their implications for contemporary society.
