EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Intercourse or Impartial Dealings" is a powerful depiction of the political landscape in early 19th century America. Created by Peter Pencil in 1809, this American cartoon captures President Thomas Jefferson's struggle with his own embargo policy. In the image, we see President Jefferson being robbed by two imposing figures: England represented by King George and Napoleon Bonaparte of France. This robbery symbolizes the negative consequences that resulted from Jefferson's embargo policy, which aimed to protect American interests but ultimately backfired. The artist portrays King George and Napoleon as dictators, emphasizing their oppressive nature and highlighting their role in crippling America's economy. The use of a bat as a weapon suggests violence and aggression employed against Jefferson's administration. This cartoon serves as both a critique of Jefferson's policies and an indictment of foreign powers for taking advantage of America during this tumultuous period. It reflects the tensions between nations at that time and raises questions about the effectiveness of political acts such as embargoes. Overall, "Intercourse or Impartial Dealings" offers viewers a glimpse into the complex world of early 19th century politics through its clever imagery and thought-provoking symbolism.
