1861 Clerk Custom House Desk Duty Entry Import Nightmare Office Tariff


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MORRILL TARIFF, 1861" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image depicts an exhausted custom house entry clerk, seated at his cluttered desk in the dimly lit interior of an office. It is evident that he is deep in thought, trying to make sense of the complexities of the Morrill Tariff adopted in 1861. The engraving skillfully captures the weariness on the clerk's face as he battles with nightmares plaguing his mind. Perhaps these nightmares represent his struggle to comprehend and enforce this new law effectively. The artist masterfully portrays both the physical and mental toll that this duty has taken on him. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we can't help but empathize with this hardworking individual who finds solace even during working hours by taking a brief nap at his desk. This mid-nap moment adds a touch of vulnerability to an otherwise stoic character. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another remarkable piece from their collection - one that not only showcases artistic talent but also serves as a window into America's past. Through this print, we are reminded of how policies such as tariffs have shaped our nation's economy and impacted individuals like this dedicated worker who tirelessly carried out their duties amidst challenging circumstances.
