EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history, showcasing the complex dynamics surrounding Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal. The image depicts FDR as a ventriloquist, with his trusted companion Edgar Bergen playing the role of Charlie McCarthy. However, instead of obediently following FDR's lead, Congress is portrayed as an uncooperative dummy, refusing to play along. The visual composition is filled with powerful symbolism and political satire. The majority of newspapers, magazines, and cartoonists at that time opposed the Second New Deal, which is reflected in their depiction here. With exaggerated gestures and expressions, the politicians are shown yelling and gesturing while seated on chairs. Set against a backdrop of period costumes and Western script text, this illustration technique adds depth to the historical context it represents. It serves as a reminder of how humor was employed to critique politics during that era. This photograph not only offers insight into American culture but also provides a glimpse into the past when policies like the New Deal were shaping our nation's future. As we observe these two senior men engaging in heated debate outdoors on what appears to be a sunny day in 1937; we are reminded of the significance and impact that political decisions can have on society.
