EDITORS COMMENTS
The cartoon print titled "Cartoon: New Deal, 1937" captures a pivotal moment in American history. Created in 1937, it depicts President Franklin D. Roosevelt facing the daunting challenge of pushing his Supreme Court reform plan through the U. S. Senate. The image serves as an allegory for the immense struggle and resistance faced by FDR during this time. In the cartoon, President Roosevelt is portrayed as a determined figure attempting to pull a massive camel labeled "Supreme Court Reform" through the doors of Congress's Capitol building. This visual metaphor symbolizes FDR's ambitious attempt to reshape and restructure the Supreme Court to align with his Democratic Party's political acts. The artist skillfully conveys both the magnitude of Roosevelt's task and its controversial nature through clever symbolism. The camel represents not only the cumbersome weight of reform but also alludes to an old saying about how difficult it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle – highlighting just how challenging this endeavor was perceived to be. This historical artwork provides us with valuable insight into one of America's most transformative periods – The New Deal era. It reminds us that even great leaders like FDR faced significant obstacles while striving for change, yet their determination can ultimately shape our nation's future policies and institutions.
