EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and historically significant print captured by Achille Beltrame in 1928. This color lithograph depicts the arduous journey undertaken by Republican candidate Herbert Hoover during his campaign for the presidency of the United States. In this image, we witness Hoover's relentless efforts to win over voters as he travels across America on a propaganda trip. The photograph showcases him distributing thousands of signatures, even going as far as signing bass drums belonging to local gangs. However, breaking from tradition, Hoover refuses to kiss the children presented to him by their mothers. The scene is filled with an array of characters and emotions. We see men and women eagerly watching from carriages and railway platforms, while young boys and girls curiously observe this political spectacle unfold before them. The crowd represents the diverse fabric of American society that was deeply invested in politics during this time. Beltrame's illustration captures not only the physical labor involved in campaigning but also highlights the power dynamics at play within American politics. It serves as a reminder that presidential candidates must navigate through various challenges while trying to connect with voters on a personal level. This historic artwork offers us a glimpse into an era when public transport played a crucial role in political campaigns and underscores how politicians had to adapt their strategies accordingly. "The Labors of a US Presidential Candidate" remains an enduring testament to democracy in action during one of America's most pivotal moments in history.
