The Political Army of Salvation
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph cartoon by Joseph Keppler, created in 1880. The artwork humorously portrays Senator Roscoe Conkling and other prominent Republicans as members of the Salvation Army, clad in their signature uniforms and singing hymns. Their mission? To solicit donations and rally support for their chosen savior, former President Ulysses S. Grant, whom they fervently seek to nominate for an unprecedented third term. In this satirical depiction, Keppler cleverly merges political satire with religious imagery to highlight the zealous efforts of these Republican leaders. With Senator Conkling at the center of attention, surrounded by his fellow "soldiers" the cartoon emphasizes their unwavering loyalty towards Grant. The symbolism within the image is rich; each detail carefully crafted to convey its message. From the book held by one man representing education and intellect to another figure wearing a hat adorned with badges denoting military service - all serve as reminders of Grant's legacy as a Union Army officer during America's Civil War. Through this thought-provoking piece, Keppler invites viewers to reflect on the power dynamics within politics while subtly critiquing those who championed Grant's nomination for a third term. It serves as both a historical artifact capturing an important moment in American politics and an artistic commentary on ambition and loyalty.
