The Writing on the Wall
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful lithograph cartoon by Joseph Keppler, created in 1884. The image depicts a modern-day Belshazzar's feast, where prominent Republicans are thrown into an uproar over the rejection of their corrupt presidential nominee, James G. Blaine. Standing at the left side of the picture, Blaine symbolizes the center of controversy and discontent within his own party. The cartoon captures the essence of political satire and corruption prevalent during that era. It showcases various Republican figures such as Jay Gould, Cyrus Field, Whitelaw Reid, and many others engaged in heated discussions around a table filled with lavish food and drinks. Each character is portrayed with distinct features like beards or mustaches that were popular at that time. The title "The Writing on the Wall" alludes to an ancient biblical story where mysterious writing appeared on King Belshazzar's palace wall foretelling his downfall. In this context, it represents the impending doom faced by Blaine and his supporters due to their alleged involvement in unethical practices. Keppler's artwork not only serves as a commentary on political corruption but also highlights divisions within parties during election campaigns. Through clever symbolism and detailed illustrations, he effectively conveys his message about moral decay within American politics. This historic lithograph remains relevant today as it reminds us of how power struggles can lead to internal conflicts within political parties while shedding light on issues surrounding campaign finance reform and ethical leadership in government institutions.
