EDITORS COMMENTS
UNCLE SAM: CARTOON, 1840. Uncle Sam's Pet Pups! This iconic print from 1840 showcases one of the earliest appearances of Uncle Sam in a political cartoon. In this satirical artwork, we see Uncle Sam himself chasing after former presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, who are desperately seeking refuge inside a hard cider barrel. The barrel is held by none other than presidential candidate W. H. Harrison. This cartoon captures the essence of American politics during the 19th century, with its clever use of symbolism and humor. It reflects the Whig Party's campaign strategy at the time, as they sought to portray themselves as champions of common folk by associating their candidate with hard cider – a popular drink among working-class Americans. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but has left an indelible mark on American political satire. The image perfectly encapsulates the spirit and energy surrounding presidential campaigns in that era. Uncle Sam has since become an enduring symbol of American patriotism and national identity. This print serves as a reminder of our nation's rich history and the power that political cartoons hold in shaping public opinion.
