EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph from 1886 depicts Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th President of the United States (1836-1908). The image draws a historical parallel between political reform and Martin Luther, the Protestant reformer. In this satirical cartoon, Cleveland is portrayed as a priest-like figure, symbolizing his role in bringing about change in American politics. The artist cleverly uses symbolism to convey the message of political reform finding its Luther through Cleveland. By referencing Luther's significant impact on religious reformation during the 16th century, it suggests that Cleveland played a similar transformative role in American politics during the late 19th century. The use of satire highlights both criticism and humor in this artwork. It reflects how people perceived Cleveland's efforts to bring about change within the Democratic Party and his presidency as a whole. As a Democrat himself, he faced opposition from various factions within his own party while implementing reforms. This lithograph serves as an important historical artifact capturing not only Grover Cleveland's presidency but also the broader context of political reform in America during that time period. It showcases how art can be used to express complex ideas and commentary on contemporary events.
