EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph cartoon from 1836 offers a fascinating insight into the intense presidential campaign of that era. Depicting an indoor game of pool, it showcases the rivalry between two prominent candidates - William Henry Harrison and Martin Van Buren. In this spirited scene, Harrison is skillfully abetted by his allies Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, while Van Buren finds support in Andrew Jackson and Thomas Hart Benton. The billiard table becomes a metaphorical battleground for these political heavyweights as they strategize their moves to secure victory. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; each figure embodies their unique personality traits and political affiliations. Harrison exudes confidence as he lines up his shot with determination, while Van Buren maintains a composed demeanor backed by the influential presence of Jackson and Benton. This lithograph not only captures the essence of American politics during this time but also highlights key figures who shaped the nation's history. It serves as a reminder that even in early America, campaigns were fiercely fought battles where alliances were formed and broken. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to an era when men like Harrison, Webster, Clay, Van Buren, Jackson, and Benton played pivotal roles in shaping our democracy. This print allows us to witness firsthand how politics was conducted before modern media took center stage – through artful symbolism on a billiard table instead
