The Teddyssey - The Sirens Try to Lure Teddysses to the Rocks
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and satirical 1907 American cartoon by Otho Cushing. In this thought-provoking artwork, President Theodore Roosevelt stands as the heroic figure resisting the alluring charms of three powerful industrialists - John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, and Andrew Carnegie. Depicting an allegorical scene inspired by Homer's Odyssey, Cushing cleverly portrays these influential figures as seductive sirens attempting to lure Roosevelt towards their treacherous rocks. Symbolizing big business and wealth accumulation during the Progressive Era, Rockefeller represents Standard Oil Company while Morgan embodies his role as a prominent financier. Carnegie, known for his steel empire, completes this trio of "robber barons". Roosevelt's unwavering resistance against their temptations showcases his commitment to political acts that challenged monopolies and advocated for fair competition in America's commerce landscape. As a Republican president who championed progressive policies, he sought to protect ordinary citizens from the excessive power wielded by these tycoons. Through its intricate details and symbolism, this cartoon serves as both social commentary on the influence of big business in politics and a testament to Roosevelt's determination in curbing their dominance over society. It reminds us of an era when political leaders dared to challenge entrenched interests for the greater good of America. This historic print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in American history
