EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful American cartoon from 1932 by John Miller Baer, which defines the term "New Deal" first used by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his speech while accepting the Democratic nomination for President on July 2nd of that year. The image depicts a scene at a poker table, where various individuals representing different sectors of society are engaged in a high-stakes game. At one end sits a wealthy speculator and gambler, symbolizing the privileged class who had profited during the prosperous times before the Great Depression. On the other side is an ordinary worker, embodying the struggles faced by everyday Americans during this economic crisis. In between them stands Franklin D. Roosevelt himself, depicted as both a farmer and a politician, signifying his commitment to addressing agricultural issues and enacting political acts to alleviate suffering caused by the depression. The smoke-filled room adds an air of tension and urgency to their demands for change. This iconic cartoon encapsulates the spirit of FDR's New Deal policies – it calls for government intervention to regulate finance and commerce, protect workers' rights, provide relief programs for those affected by unemployment or poverty, and stimulate economic recovery through public works projects. As we look back on this historical moment captured in Baer's artwork, we can appreciate how these political ideas shaped America's response to one of its darkest periods and laid foundations for social reforms that continue to impact our society today.
