Jack and the Wall Street Giants - A Political Cartoon of Roosevelt's Era

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph cartoon, created by Udo Keppler in 1904, offers a powerful visual commentary on the political climate during President Theodore Roosevelt's administration. Titled "Jack and the Wall Street Giants" it portrays a diminutive President Roosevelt standing tall against the formidable figures of Wall Street. In this thought-provoking artwork, Roosevelt is depicted as a determined figure wielding the sword of Public Service. He stands ready to confront giants such as James J. Hill, J. P. Morgan, George Jay Gould, John D. Rockefeller, and Henry Oxnard - influential figures representing corporate powerhouses that dominated early 20th-century America. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this era marked by monopolies and trusts through symbolic imagery. The giants are portrayed with exaggerated features while Roosevelt appears resolute despite his small stature. This cartoon reflects both public sentiment towards big business at the time and Roosevelt's own progressive agenda aimed at curbing their influence through anti-trust legislation. It serves as a reminder of his commitment to challenging economic inequality and ensuring fair competition in commerce. With its intricate details and subtle satire, this lithograph was originally published in Puck magazine – an influential publication known for its political cartoons during that period. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it allows us to reflect on an important chapter in American history when one man dared to take on mighty giants for the betterment of society
