EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolithograph print titled "CARTOON: HAYES, 1878. Our Policy Towards the Solid South" takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history. The image depicts two prominent politicians, James Blaine and William Maxwell Evarts, attempting to forcefully dress President Rutherford B. Hayes in a shirt labeled "Bloody". This cartoon was created during the late 19th century as part of a political campaign tactic known as waving the Bloody Shirt. During Reconstruction, Republicans used this strategy to blame the South for causing the Civil War and portray themselves as champions of Unionism. In this artwork, we witness an intense effort by Blaine and Evarts to force Hayes into wearing this symbolic garment that represents their accusation against Southern states. This powerful visual commentary reflects both the political climate of that era and highlights how campaigns were conducted at that time. The artist skillfully captures the tension between these influential figures while shedding light on their attempt to shape public opinion through provocative imagery. As we explore this historical artifact from Granger Art on Demand's collection, it serves as a reminder of how politics has always been intertwined with art and propaganda throughout American history. It invites us to reflect upon past strategies employed by politicians seeking power or influence over public sentiment – tactics that continue to resonate even today.
