EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "DEMOCRATIC VOTER, c1896" takes us back to a significant era in American history. The image showcases a cartoon engraving of a Democratic voter, humorously characterized by his drink of choice - old rye. This satirical portrayal offers an intriguing glimpse into the political climate of late 19th-century America. The personification of the Democratic voter is depicted wearing a top hat, symbolizing elegance and sophistication. With a cigar in hand, he exudes confidence and authority as he engages in the act of voting. The use of satire and parody highlights the artist's intention to comment on the political landscape at that time. Beyond its artistic value, this print serves as a historical artifact that sheds light on the importance placed on alcohol during elections in 1896. It provides insight into how certain stereotypes were associated with different political parties during this period. As we observe this thought-provoking image from Granger Art on Demand, we are transported back to America's past where politics was intertwined with social customs such as drinking habits. Through this lens, we gain a deeper understanding of how cultural elements shaped political identities and perceptions within society over time.
