EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph illustration from 1832 captures the satirical essence of Mrs. Trollope's observations on American society in her book "Domestic Manners of the Americans". The image features a man, humorously titled "TROLLOPE: SPITTOON" who is portrayed as a Member of Congress. Dressed in an English nobleman's fashion with a beaver hat and coat, he stands tall and proud, holding a spittoon. The artist skillfully parodies the early American fashion trends by exaggerating certain elements like the top hat and beaver fur. This caricature serves as both social commentary and entertainment for viewers during that time period. The juxtaposition of this elegant gentleman with such an unrefined object as a spittoon highlights the cultural differences between England and America at that time. It reflects Mrs. Trollope's perception of American manners, which she found to be quite different from what she was accustomed to in her homeland. This print not only showcases Francis Trollope's wit but also provides us with valuable insights into early 19th-century America through its humorous lens. It reminds us how art can serve as a powerful tool for understanding history and capturing societal nuances.
