EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon from 1885, created by Frederick Burr Opper, humorously explores the idea of financing the construction costs of the Statue of Liberty through advertising. Depicting a lively scene on Liberty Island, this American cartoon showcases the iconic statue adorned with various advertisements and logos. The image portrays Lady Liberty proudly standing tall amidst a bustling harbor. She is playfully depicted wearing a top hat and holding a parasol, adding an element of whimsy to her majestic presence. The artist's clever satire suggests that even such a symbol of freedom can be utilized for commercial purposes. Opper's artwork reflects the spirit of 19th-century America, where advertising was rapidly gaining prominence in society. By incorporating these elements into his illustration, he highlights how capitalism permeates every aspect of life - even reaching as far as our cherished national symbols. While it is important to note that this cartoon does not endorse or promote commercial use directly, it serves as an intriguing commentary on the intersection between politics and commerce during that era. This thought-provoking piece invites us to reflect upon how societal values have evolved over time while reminding us that even beloved landmarks like the Statue of Liberty are not immune to economic considerations. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical gem from their collection - an engaging visual representation capturing both political acts and artistic expression in one frame.
