EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Who'll have the specie?, 1837" by American School, showcases a satirical political cartoon from the 19th century. The print measures 27.1x37.2 cm and is housed at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. The artwork humorously depicts Martin van Buren, the 8th President of the United States, amidst a chaotic scene filled with symbolic elements. A French cock stands proudly on top of a kennel while holding an array of flags representing different colonies. Meanwhile, a British bulldog looks on with curiosity and confusion. The image alludes to spoilation claims and colonial disputes during that era through clever caricature and satire. The artist skillfully uses animals as metaphors for political powers and their interactions. This engraving captures attention not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance. It offers viewers a glimpse into the complex dynamics between nations during this period in history. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' courtesy, we can appreciate this piece from the American Antiquarian Society's collection without any copyright restrictions or limitations on personal use. As we explore this intriguing artwork further, it reminds us of how art can serve as both entertainment and commentary on society's most pressing issues throughout time.
