EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Yankee Schoolmaster" captures a significant moment in American history. Created around 1868 by the American School, this print measures 21.3x16.8 cm and is housed at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. The artwork depicts Benjamin Franklin Butler, an influential American politician and Governor of Massachusetts, holding a whip labeled "impeachment". Standing before him is Andrew Johnson, the ill-fated 17th President of the United States. The scene represents a political satire during a time of great tension and controversy. Butler's imposing figure brandishing the whip symbolizes his intent to punish Johnson for his alleged misconduct as president. This image serves as commentary on the power struggle between politicians during that era. The lithograph showcases exceptional artistic skill with its intricate details and clever caricatures. It offers viewers a glimpse into America's past through visual storytelling. Presidents, politics, impeachment - these themes converge in this thought-provoking piece of art from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection. Its historical significance cannot be understated as it sheds light on an important chapter in our nation's history while showcasing the talent and creativity of artists from that time period.
