EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Symptoms of a Locked Jaw / Plain Sewing Done" is an American cartoon comment from 1834, depicting the political struggle between President Andrew Jackson and the Bank of the United States. The image captures the tension and satire surrounding Henry Clay's resolution to censure Jackson for his fight against the bank. In this scene, we see a group of men seated in a silent room, representing the U. S. Senate. President Jackson, portrayed with his distinctive uniform and sash, sits at the center with a locked jaw symbolizing his determination. Surrounding him are members of both parties - Whigs and Democrats - engaged in plain sewing as they attempt to mend their differences. The cartoon cleverly uses visual metaphors to convey its message. The struggle over banking policies is represented by tangled thread and needles, emphasizing how complex and divisive this issue was during that time period. Meanwhile, Henry Clay, known as the "Great Compromiser" wears a belt labeled "Resolution" as he tries to find common ground among these opposing forces. This artwork serves as a commentary on political acts during early America when tensions ran high between different factions. It highlights not only Jackson's fight against powerful financial institutions but also showcases how politicians attempted to navigate through conflicting interests for public support. Overall, this satirical cartoon provides valuable insight into historical events while showcasing artistic creativity in conveying complex ideas through visual representation.
