Just the Difference: A Humorous Depiction of the Election of 1880 by Joseph Keppler This 19th-century color lithograph, titled "Just the Difference," is an intriguing piece of American art history from Puck, a popular satirical weekly magazine published between 1871 and 1918. Created by renowned German-American artist and caricaturist, Joseph Keppler, this masterpiece dates back to 1880 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the political culture of the time. The lithograph showcases two figures, each carrying the other on their shoulders, symbolizing the Democratic and Republican parties during the presidential election of that year. On the left, we see Winfield Scott Hancock, the Democratic nominee, represented as an elegant, older gentleman. On the right, James A. Garfield, the Republican nominee, is depicted as a hardworking, determined man. The caption above each figure reads, "Honest Abe's Heirs," referencing the legacy of Abraham Lincoln. The donkey, a symbol of the Democratic Party, is shown carrying the elephant, a symbol of the Republican Party. This clever depiction, filled with humor and symbolism, reflects the political climate of the time and the ongoing rivalry between the two major parties. As an artifact, "Just the Difference" is a significant addition to any art collection, museum, or gallery, offering a unique perspective on the history of American politics and the role of satire in shaping public opinion. This colorful and intricately detailed lithograph, with its rich heritage and historical significance, continues to captivate audiences and remains an essential piece of American art and cultural heritage.
