EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "GRANT CARTOON, 1880. The Modern Wandering Jew" is a captivating American lithograph cartoon created by Joseph Keppler in 1880. This thought-provoking artwork depicts the renowned former president Ulysses S. Grant, who leans on his remarkable war record while seeking an unprecedented third term in that year's presidential election. In this visually striking image, we see Grant portrayed as a well-traveled figure, symbolizing his extensive political journey and experiences. His determined stance reflects his ambition to secure the nomination for another term as President of the United States. As he walks through what appears to be the exterior of a late building with a dome resembling the Capitol, Grant's presence commands attention. Notably, Keppler incorporates various elements into this lithograph cartoon to convey its message effectively. A grave stone labeled "Simpson" alludes to Grant's opponent within the Republican Party during that time period. This detail highlights the intense competition and canvassing efforts among candidates vying for nomination. Overall, this artwork captures an important moment in American history when Ulysses S. Grant sought re-election against significant opposition within his own party. Through Keppler's skillful use of visual symbolism and artistic techniques, viewers are invited to reflect upon the complexities of political ambition and power dynamics prevalent during that era.
