EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1877 American cartoon print titled "ELECTION CARTOON" takes us back to the contested presidential election of 1876 between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden. The image humorously depicts a formal gathering, with Mr. Tilden graciously handing over his dance partner, Columbia, to Mr. Hayes. The caption reads: "Thanks, Mr. Tilden. I have promised to dance this set with Mr. Hayes". The cartoon serves as a visual representation of the political climate during that time period when twenty disputed electoral votes ultimately led to Hayes' victory in the race for presidency. It showcases the transition of power from one candidate to another amidst controversy. The artist's intricate engraving technique beautifully captures every detail - from the late 19th-century attire worn by both men and women attending the event, to their expressions reflecting anticipation and amusement. This historical artifact offers a glimpse into America's past, highlighting not only the significance of elections but also shedding light on societal norms and customs at that time. As we admire this piece today, it reminds us of how democracy has evolved over centuries while emphasizing its importance in shaping our nation's future leaders through fair and just electoral processes.
