EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WILLIAM S. DEVERY CARTOON. The Big Chiefs Fairy Godmother: Mr. Devery tells where he got it" takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a moment of political satire and social commentary by William Allen Rogers. In this cartoon, Rogers lampoons William S. Devery, the former New York City police chief notorious for his involvement in illegal gambling and corruption. The image portrays Devery as a rotund man seated on a city street, holding a wand resembling a police baton while surrounded by piles of money coins symbolizing his ill-gotten gains from criminal activities. His exaggerated moustache and corpulent figure emphasize his greed and lust for power. Rogers cleverly depicts Devery's fairy godmother as an ironic twist on justice and morality, highlighting the corrupt nature of politics during that era. This satirical artwork serves as both entertainment and social critique, shedding light on the rampant corruption within law enforcement at the turn of the century. The Granger Collection presents this historical piece with great attention to detail, allowing viewers to appreciate its artistic value while reflecting upon its underlying message about power dynamics and moral decay in society.
