EDITORS COMMENTS
Her True Knight: A Humorous Depiction of Grover Cleveland from Puck, 1887 This lithograph, titled "Her True Knight," is a colorful and whimsical caricature created by renowned American artist Joseph Keppler in 1887. The image, published in the popular satirical magazine Puck, showcases a humorous take on Grover Cleveland, who served as the 22nd and 24th President of the United States. The depiction features Cleveland as a knight, complete with armor and a helmet, atop a majestic swan. The swan, a nod to the opera "Lohengrin," is labeled as "Her True Knight," a playful reference to Cleveland's reputation for honesty and integrity. Surrounding the image are various figures, including a mugwump, a symbol of political independence, and representatives of the Democratic Party, which Cleveland led. The use of color lithography on newsprint adds to the vibrancy and appeal of the artwork. The intricate details and graphics display the exceptional skill and artistry of Keppler, who was known for his ability to capture the essence of current events and political figures through his caricatures and cartoons. This antique artwork is a valuable piece of American heritage, showcasing the country's rich artistic and political history. The image has been preserved and is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to entertain and educate visitors about the culture and concepts of the 19th century. The depiction of Grover Cleveland as "Her True Knight" not only highlights his political achievements but also adds a touch of humor and levity to the historical record. The artwork is a testament to the power of art as a means of commenting on society and capturing the zeitgeist of a particular time and place.
