The end of the republican party After The Destruction of Jer
The end of the republican party After The Destruction of Jerusalem by Kaulbach. After a large painting by Wilhelm von Kaulbach showing the destruction of Jerusalem, this print shows the demise of the Republican Party with various Republicans, Mugwumps, Democrats, and allegorical figures, along with portraits of Jefferson, Washington, and Lincoln, as well as the newly elected Democratic president Grover Cleveland on horseback (as the Roman emperor Titus), with Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks on horseback behind him, and Carl Schurz and another man, carrying fasces, walking beside them. At center appears Samuel Tilden holding up a shield labeled 1876 and brandishing a short sword. He appears about to strike a man, possibly Rutherford B. Hayes, winner of the controversial 1876 presidential election. Moving toward the foreground, James G. Blaine is standing with a large dagger raised, which he is about to plunge into a fainted female figure labeled Republican Party supported by his left arm; kneeling beside Blaine is Benjamin Butler holding a jester doll. Three crouching figures in front of Butler are Chester A. Arthur, John A. Logan, and an unidentified man wearing glasses. A man labeled Corruption, possibly John Roach, flees to the left, pursued by three male furies. On the far right is a flight to Egypt scene with a Madonna and two children riding on a mule, which has stopped to graze on a thistle, other figures are around them, as well as two men walking in the midst who may be Henry Ward Beecher and Thomas F. Bayard. Above the central figures are three trumpeters, one holding a staff topped with an eagle and bearing the initials G.C. hearlding the arrival of Grover Cleveland. Above these figures appears a horde of angels wielding rushes. In the upper left corner, several people are standing at the entrance to a temple, among them are Whitelaw Reid and John St. John.

The End of the Republican Party - A Modern Depiction of the Destruction of Jerusalem
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a thought-provoking print by Wilhelm von Kaulbach, created around 1884. This intricate artwork is a political commentary on the tumultuous period in American history following the controversial presidential election of 1876. At the center of the image, Grover Cleveland, the newly elected Democratic president, is depicted on horseback, with Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks following behind. Cleveland is shown as the Roman emperor Titus, symbolizing his role in the destruction of the Republican Party. Samuel J. Tilden, the Democratic nominee in the disputed 1876 election, stands defiantly, brandishing a short sword and holding a shield labeled 1876. He is poised to strike Rutherford B. Hayes, the eventual Republican winner, who lies fainted at his feet. To the right of Tilden, James G. Blaine, a prominent Republican, is shown with a large dagger, about to plunge it into the Republican Party, represented by a woman. Benjamin Butler, a former Union general and Republican politician, is seen kneeling beside Blaine, holding a jester doll. Three crouching figures, Chester A. Arthur, John A. Logan, and an unidentified man, are also present. The print includes various allegorical figures, such as Corruption, fleeing to the left, pursued by three male furies. Above the central figures, three trumpeters announce the arrival of Cleveland, while a horde of angels wielding rushes appears above them. The upper left corner features Whitelaw Reid and John St. John standing at the entrance to a temple. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the late 19th century, using biblical imagery to comment on the tumultuous events of the time. The artwork's intricate details and symbolism continue to captivate viewers and provide valuable insights into American history.
