EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "In a Bad Box" was created by David Claypoole Johnston in approximately 1837. Measuring 23.4x30.2 cm, it is currently housed at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA. The artwork depicts three prominent figures of the time: Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, and Thomas Benton. Jackson served as the 7th President of the United States from 1829 to 1837, while Van Buren succeeded him as the 8th President. Benton was an influential American Senator during this period. The image is a political cartoon that satirizes the state of banking and finance in America at that time. It features a cage labeled "United States Bank" with a monstrous creature inside representing corrupt financial practices and policies. Johnston's caricature highlights the politicians' involvement with this controversial institution and their perceived negative impact on currency stability and economic growth. This engraving serves as both social commentary and political satire, reflecting public sentiment towards these statesmen's actions regarding banking regulation during their respective presidencies. As an artifact from history, this print offers valuable insights into early American politics and provides viewers with an opportunity to explore how art has been used throughout history to convey powerful messages about society's most pressing issues.
