EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Barking Dogs Never Bite, cartoon, 1900" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Depicting a full-length scene set in a park on a sunny day, this vertical composition is filled with symbolism and satire. The cartoon cleverly portrays the political landscape of its time through the lens of American culture. In the foreground, we see two mature men accompanied by their respective partners – mature women – engaged in conversation while strolling leisurely. Their presence suggests power and influence within society. However, what truly captures our attention are the medium group of animals surrounding them: dogs barking relentlessly. These barking dogs represent various political factions that were opposing President William McKinley during his tenure. Through this illustration and painting, the artist skillfully critiques politics and questions prosperity amidst societal challenges. The image serves as an important historical artifact showcasing how cartoons were used to comment on pressing issues of their era. It reminds us that even over a century ago, art played an integral role in shaping public opinion and challenging authority. Preserved by Universal Images Group (UIG), this print offers us a glimpse into not only American history but also the power of visual storytelling as it continues to resonate with audiences today.
