EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph captures the whimsical and satirical essence of the "Grand Fantastical Parade" that took place in New York on December 2,1833. Created by the talented Hassan Straightshanks, this artwork showcases President Andrew Jackson dressed as a clown, leading the procession with his characteristic flair. The image is filled with vibrant colours and intricate details, showcasing a multitude of characters and animals parading through the streets. As General Andrew Jackson takes center stage, he embodies both power and humor in his clown attire. His presence adds an element of surprise to this grand spectacle. The parade itself seems like a theatrical production, blending elements from Shakespeare's plays such as Henry IV with American culture. The riders on horseback brandish swords while horses prance alongside them. This fusion of drama and entertainment creates a captivating scene that reflects the spirit of early 19th-century America. Straightshanks' artistic style shines through in this hand-tinted lithograph, capturing not only the physical appearance but also conveying a sense of satire towards societal norms at that time. With its clever caricatures and playful atmosphere, it invites viewers to reflect upon their own country's history while enjoying moments of levity. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this print serves as a testament to Hassan Straightshanks' talent for merging artistry with social commentary during one of America's most transformative periods.
