EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph titled "Old Elective Franchise, what's on the cards? : beware of November!" captures a pivotal moment in American political history. Created in 1868 by an anonymous artist from the American School, this artwork measures 25.4x35.5 cm and is housed at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. Depicting Old Mother Elective Franchise as a fortune teller, the print humorously portrays her conveying a message to Horatio Seymour, the Democratic presidential candidate of that time. With a mischievous smile on her face, she suggests that things are looking more favorable for Ulysses Grant, who would eventually become the 18th President of the United States. This satirical cartoon reflects the intense electioneering atmosphere surrounding the presidential elections during this period. It highlights not only individual politicians but also broader themes such as power struggles and public sentiment towards candidates. As an important piece of historical documentation, this lithograph offers insights into early American politics and provides valuable context for understanding electoral dynamics during this era. Its caricatured style adds an element of entertainment while shedding light on significant figures and events that shaped our nation's history. Through its clever composition and witty symbolism, "Old Elective Franchise" serves as both a visual delight and an educational resource for those interested in exploring America's political past.
