EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Looks as if the New Leadership Was Really Going to Lead" captures the essence of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's ambitious approach to governance during a critical period in American history. Created around 1933, at the height of the Great Depression, this American cartoon symbolizes FDR's determination to lead both the country and Congress towards enacting emergency legislation known as the First New Deal. In this thought-provoking image, we see President Roosevelt taking charge with unwavering confidence. He is depicted as a strong leader, firmly holding onto reins that represent his control over America's destiny. With an intense expression on his face and a sense of urgency in his posture, he leads a group of men representing Congress on a breakneck course towards progress. The artist skillfully conveys speed and motion through various elements: a road stretching into infinity, rushing clouds overhead, and even an ass-cart labeled "New Deal" being pulled along by determined individuals. This visual metaphor highlights FDR's commitment to revitalizing commerce and pulling America out of economic despair. Overall, this powerful illustration encapsulates not only Roosevelt's political acts but also reflects the spirit of hope that permeated society during those challenging times. It serves as a reminder that effective leadership can steer nations through crises while instilling faith in their citizens' hearts – an enduring message relevant even today.
