EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "CARTOON: ELECTION, 1960. Here we go again" captures a moment in history during the presidential contest between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Created by Edmund Valtman on September 12,1960, this cartoon provides a satirical commentary on the political race. In the image, both candidates' parties are represented by organ grinders - symbolizing their ability to manipulate public opinion through media and propaganda. The Democratic party is depicted as a donkey while the Republican party is portrayed as an elephant. This cleverly crafted cartoon highlights the intense competition between Kennedy and Nixon for the presidency. It reflects how television played a significant role in shaping public perception during this era of politics. Valtman's artwork also includes additional symbolic elements such as a monkey representing mischief or chaos and a panhandler signifying economic concerns within society. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of the vibrant political landscape of 1960s America and offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on how election campaigns have evolved over time.
