EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 1888 presidential campaign captures a moment of premature celebration for Grover Cleveland, the Democratic candidate. The cartoon depicts Cleveland confidently standing on a dock, holding a fishing rod with a triumphant smile on his face. However, history tells us that this portrayal was far from accurate. Despite winning the popular vote, Cleveland would ultimately lose in the electoral college to his opponent Benjamin Harrison, who is depicted as an observant fisherman in the image. This unexpected outcome adds intrigue and irony to this political artwork. The artist skillfully uses humor and satire to convey the uncertainty and unpredictability of American politics during this time period. The exaggerated depiction of Cleveland's premature victory serves as a reminder that even seemingly certain outcomes can be overturned in elections. This contemporary lithograph not only reflects the artistic style of its time but also offers valuable insights into historical events and their impact on American society. It serves as both a visual representation of an important election and a commentary on the flaws within our electoral system. Overall, this print provides viewers with an engaging glimpse into one of America's most fascinating presidential campaigns while highlighting the complexities inherent in democratic processes.
