EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage American cartoon from 1965 captures the essence of President Lyndon Johnson's remark about the electoral college being outmoded. The image portrays Johnson, a prominent figure in his tricorn hat and snuff box, carrying a sedan chair with him seated inside. This satirical representation symbolizes the outdated nature of the electoral college system. Surrounded by men and women dressed in middle-class attire, this cartoon highlights how Johnson's comment resonated with many Americans at that time. It reflects their desire for a more modern approach to voting and political representation. The use of transportation imagery further emphasizes the need for progress, as sedan chairs were commonly used during an era long gone by 1965. By juxtaposing this archaic mode of transport with Johnson's statement, the artist effectively conveys that it is time to move forward. Through clever satire and text elements incorporated into this artwork, Granger Art on Demand encapsulates both historical context and contemporary sentiment surrounding President Lyndon Baines Johnson's views on the electoral college system. This print serves as a reminder of America's ever-evolving democracy and its ongoing quest for fairer representation in elections.
