EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Smilette, Democrat Election Poster, 1932" is a powerful political statement from the early 20th century. Created by an anonymous American School artist, this print captures the essence of the turbulent times during the Great Depression. The central figure in the image is Smilette, a caricatured man with a crazed expression on his face. The poster's message is clear: smile away the depression and smile us into prosperity. It reflects both hope and cynicism as it attempts to rally support for Democratic candidates during the presidential election of 1932. Using biting satire and clever symbolism, this artwork serves as political propaganda aimed at capturing public sentiment amidst economic hardship. The exaggerated features of Smilette highlight both sarcasm and lunacy while criticizing government policies that failed to alleviate suffering. With its bold lines and intricate details, this engraving showcases skilled craftsmanship while conveying social commentary on North American society at that time. Despite being created almost a century ago, its themes of smiling through adversity remain relevant today. This thought-provoking piece invites viewers to reflect on historical events while recognizing how art can be used as a tool for political persuasion. As we gaze upon this fascinating print from our private collection, we are reminded of America's complex past and how visual imagery has always played an influential role in shaping public opinion.
