EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print captures a humorous moment in American history. Depicting President Ulysses Grant and Uncle Sam at the White House, it showcases their unique camaraderie and playful banter. The scene unfolds with Uncle Sam presenting a beer to President Grant, who stands against a wall adorned with the inscription "third term". The artist, Louis Houssot, skillfully engraves this comical interaction to illustrate William Hepworth Dixon's story titled "La conquete blanche" in 1875. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1876 and edited by Edouard Charton of Hachette edition, Paris, this artwork has become part of the esteemed Selva Collection. Grant's presidency (1822-1885) was marked by significant achievements but also faced controversy surrounding his potential pursuit of a third term. This cartoon cleverly satirizes that notion while showcasing the enduring symbol of American patriotism embodied by Uncle Sam. Leonard de Selva expertly captures this historic piece through his lens as part of Fine Art Finder's collection. His attention to detail allows viewers to appreciate every stroke and nuance within the engraving. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of America's political past but also its ability to find humor even amidst serious discussions about leadership and power.
