EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1906, where a satirical cartoon from Puck magazine comes to life. The illustration titled "Declaring a dividend" depicts the notorious John D. Rockefeller and his son, John D. Rockefeller Jr. , alongside Henry H. Rogers, Henry M. Flagler, and Nelson W. Aldrich as cunning pirates aboard their ship named Standard Oil. The artist behind this clever caricature is Udo Keppler, who skillfully captures the essence of these influential American businessmen during the turn of the century. With sharp wit and artistic flair, Keppler portrays them as pirates sailing on their vessel offshore. As we delve into this image further, it becomes evident that these men represent capitalism at its peak in early 20th-century America. Their pirate ship symbolizes Standard Oil's dominance in the oil industry while they declare dividends - reaping immense profits from their ventures. This Granger Art on Demand print allows us to witness an important moment in history when powerful financiers like Rockefeller and his associates controlled vast amounts of wealth and influence. Let this thought-provoking image serve as a reminder of how business practices have evolved over time and how individuals like Rockefeller shaped our economic landscape for better or worse – all through the lens of Udo Keppler's brilliant satire captured by Granger Collection's lens.
