EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a significant moment in American political history. The image showcases an anti-Greenback cartoon from 1878, featuring Peter Cooper, the Greenback party presidential candidate of 1876. In this satirical artwork, Cooper is depicted as the tail of a paper jackass, symbolizing his association with the Greenback party's monetary policies. The cartoon serves as a commentary on the contentious issue of currency during that era. The Greenback party advocated for expanding the money supply by issuing more paper money not backed by gold or silver reserves. This stance was met with opposition from those who believed in maintaining a strict gold standard. The artist skillfully portrays Cooper as being subservient to his own party's ideology, represented by the donkey symbolizing their platform. By positioning him at the rear end of this symbolic creature, it suggests that he is merely following along without exercising independent thought or leadership. This image provides valuable insight into both political discourse and artistic expression during late 19th-century America. It reflects how cartoons were used as powerful tools to convey political messages and sway public opinion. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into America's past and explore its complex relationship with finance, commerce, and politics through artistry and satire.
