EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Illustration called Hit him hard 1899" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The portrait captures a distinguished gentleman wearing a top hat, his face contorted with determination. This cartoon-style illustration depicts the waist-up view of the man gesturing aggressively towards an unseen danger. Symbolism and allegory are at play here, as an insect representing aggression dominates the foreground. A mosquito, known for its bloodsucking nature, symbolizes political turmoil and impending death. The sea serves as a backdrop, perhaps alluding to turbulent times ahead. Created in 1899, this powerful satire holds great historical significance. It is believed to be a commentary on President William McKinley's presidency during that era. Surrounding the central figure are numerous animals forming a large group - each animal representing different themes or ideas related to politics and power dynamics. The artist skillfully employs various illustration techniques to bring this thought-provoking piece to life. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke of ink used. Displayed outdoors under natural light on a sunny day, this vertical print demands attention from viewers passing by Universal Images Group (UIG). While it may not be intended for commercial use due to its historical value, it undoubtedly sparks curiosity and invites contemplation about the complex interplay between politics and propaganda throughout time.
