EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Another Myth Exploded" captures an American cartoon from 1938, created by Quincy Scott. This thought-provoking artwork sheds light on the supposed antagonism of President Franklin D. Roosevelt towards the rich. The image portrays a scene at breakfast, where two upper-class men in top hats are seated at a table, ready to eat their meal. One man holds a carving fork while the other wields a knife, symbolizing power and privilege. Through this clever illustration, Scott challenges the prevailing belief that F. D. Roosevelt was hostile towards wealthy individuals during his presidency. By depicting these affluent men enjoying their breakfast undisturbed, it suggests that such claims were nothing more than myths perpetuated by political opponents. This cartoon serves as both social commentary and political satire during a time when America was grappling with economic inequality and the effects of the Great Depression. It highlights how perceptions can be manipulated for political gain and questions whether Roosevelt's New Deal policies truly aimed to dismantle or merely regulate wealth accumulation. Quincy Scott's work not only showcases his artistic talent but also invites viewers to critically analyze historical narratives surrounding class dynamics in America. As we delve into this piece of art from 1938, it prompts us to question our own assumptions about politics and power structures throughout history.
