EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry Bergh, an influential American reformer of the late 19th century. The image is a caricature featured on a merchant's trade card from 1882, alongside P. T. Barnum's renowned elephant Jumbo. In this satirical drawing, Bergh is depicted with his signature moustache and profiled portrait, holding an umbrella to shield himself from the rain. The artist skillfully captures both the essence of Bergh as a prominent figure and his dedication to animal welfare. Bergh founded the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) in 1866, becoming its president until his death in 1888. His tireless efforts revolutionized animal rights legislation and raised public awareness about cruelty towards animals. The inclusion of Jumbo, one of Barnum's most celebrated circus elephants, adds an element of entertainment to this caricature. It symbolizes Bergh's collaboration with other influential figures who shared his passion for reforming society. This chromolithograph print not only serves as a historical artifact but also highlights the impact that individuals like Henry Bergh had on shaping America during this era. It reminds us of their relentless pursuit for justice and compassion towards all living beings. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece that encapsulates both humor and social commentary through artistry while honoring Henry Bergh's legacy as an American reformer dedicated to improving lives – human or otherwise.
