EDITORS COMMENTS
In this wood engraving from a contemporary American newspaper, we are transported back to the vibrant and bustling streets of Harlem, New York City in 1884. The image captures a momentous occasion - a Tammany Hall-sponsored roast at a political barbecue, where Democrats and their guests gather to enjoy an evening of camaraderie and feasting. The scene is filled with energy as men from all walks of life come together to partake in this grand event. The aroma of cooking meat fills the air, tantalizing the senses of those present. A large cow roasts over an open fire, its succulent juices sizzling on the grill. Amidst the crowd, one can sense the excitement surrounding the upcoming presidential campaign. This gathering serves not only as an opportunity for indulgence but also as a platform for political canvassing. Conversations about corruption and election issues echo through animated discussions among attendees. Harlem's Northside provides an ideal backdrop for this lively affair; its streets pulsate with activity late into the night. As darkness falls upon them, torchlights illuminate faces that express anticipation and hope for their chosen candidate's victory. This wood engraving offers us a glimpse into both historical events and social dynamics prevalent during that era. It encapsulates not just a simple barbecue but also represents unity within the Democratic Party – symbolized by Tammany Hall's sponsorship – as they rally behind their presidential nominee amidst fervent campaigning efforts.
