EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Kind of President We Have Commonly Had: A Party Boss's Creation" This intriguing 1907 illustration, titled "The Kind of President We Have Commonly Had," offers a satirical glimpse into the perceived expectations and requirements for the role of the American President during the early 20th century. The cartoon, created as a vignette, depicts a Party Boss meticulously crafting a President from "Presidential Timber," using essential components such as Subserviency, Respectability, Party Regularity, Clean Record, and Urbanity. The Party Boss, with an air of authority, shapes these attributes into a figure that will later be dressed in "Some Bodys Shoes" and a "Presidential Frock Coat." The surrounding scenes highlight the various duties and expectations of the President at the time, including reviewing parades, getting his picture taken, receiving ambassadors, laying cornerstones, going home to vote, and shaking hands. The illustration serves as a commentary on the political climate of the era, where the selection of a President was perceived to be more about adhering to party lines, maintaining a clean public image, and fulfilling ceremonial duties rather than focusing on substantive policy or leadership abilities. This cartoon, published on December 18, 1907, offers a fascinating perspective on the evolving role of the American presidency and the societal expectations that came with it.
