EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chicago Nominee I knew Horatio fellow infinite jest" by Artokoloro takes us back to the intense political atmosphere of 1864 America. The wood engraving, measuring 12 x 16 5/8 inches (305 x 422 cm), skillfully captures the biting satire that characterized the presidential campaign during the Civil War. The artwork humorously caricatures General George McClellan, the Democratic nominee, as Hamlet in Shakespeare's famous graveyard scene from Act V. This clever portrayal reflects both McClellan's indecisiveness and his perceived lack of action during a critical time in American history. Through this visual commentary, artist Justin H Howard invites viewers to reflect on the turbulent times and complex characters involved in this pivotal election year. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking piece, we are reminded of how art can serve as a powerful tool for social and political critique. The Liszt Collection presents this historical gem with utmost care and attention to detail. While appreciating its artistic merits, let us also acknowledge its significance as a testament to an era marked by division and strife. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos, creativity can flourish and provide valuable insights into our collective past.
