EDITORS COMMENTS
The 1894 cartoon print titled "COXEYs ARMY CARTOON" captures a significant moment in American history during the Gilded Age. Created by W. A. Rogers, this satirical artwork portrays Andrew Carnegie and other wealthy industrialists marching towards the U. S. Capitol on Capitol Hill. Inspired by Jacob Coxey and his army of unemployed men, these influential figures are depicted requesting assistance from Congress. In this thought-provoking image, the upper class is seen parading with banners and instruments like drums and horns as if they were part of a marching band. The cartoon cleverly highlights the stark contrast between the privileged industrialists and those suffering from unemployment during that era. Rogers' artistic style effectively conveys both political commentary and entertainment value through his detailed depiction of prominent figures such as Senator Coxey himself, Andrew Carnegie, and other recognizable faces from late 19th-century America. This historic print offers a glimpse into turn-of-the-century politics while shedding light on social issues prevalent at that time. It serves as a reminder of how satire can be used to critique societal imbalances within an engaging visual narrative. Granger Art on Demand presents this piece from their collection without any commercial intentions or affiliations with COXEYs ARMY CARTOON's subject matter or context.
