EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "In Ad Land" and dated January 11, 1905, offers a humorous take on President Theodore Roosevelt's cabinet meeting. The vignette cartoon, published in a newspaper or magazine, showcases the President and his esteemed colleagues gathered around a table, each identified by a signboard advertising a patent medicine or other product that cleverly puns on their particular office. At the center of the image, President Roosevelt sits confidently, flanked by his cabinet members. Secretary of State John Hay is labeled "J.P. Morgan Hay, Finance and Diplomacy," while Secretary of the Treasury Leslie Shaw is identified as "The Great Tariff Comedian - Continuous Performances." The humor continues with Secretary of War Elihu Root, who is depicted as "Root Beer, The War of 1898," and Secretary of the Navy George B. Cortelyou, who is labeled "Cortisone, The Navy Department." Surrounding the central image, the scene is filled with additional humor. Men, animals, and statues are scattered throughout, each holding signboards advertising various products. An elephant proudly displays the label "GOP," and a man with a top hat and cane stands before a building labeled "Patent Office - New Ideas Welcome." This whimsical illustration not only provides a glimpse into the political climate of the early 1900s but also showcases the playful use of advertising and wordplay that was popular during this time. It is a fascinating reminder of the intersection between politics and commerce in American history.
