EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Field's Folly," was created by the renowned team of Joseph Keppler and Bernhard Gillam for the American satirical magazine, Puck, between 1880 and 1889. The image depicts a colorful and humorous commentary on the ambitious endeavor of laying the Atlantic Telegraph Cable. The central figure, Cyrus Field, a prominent businessman and financier, is shown standing in front of the facade of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers, including men and women from various professions. The building's exterior is adorned with intricate details, symbolizing the concept of connecting two continents through a telegraph cable. The cartoon, which is a lithograph in color, is a testament to the satirical and parodic nature of Puck magazine. The title "Field's Folly" implies skepticism towards the success of the project, as the Atlantic Ocean was believed to be too vast and treacherous for such a venture. The image also highlights the excitement and anticipation surrounding the potential of this new technology, as people from all walks of life gather to witness the event. This historic cartoon is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century in America. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the country's industrial and business landscape during this period.
