The Progress of Snobbery
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking American cartoon print from 1884 that satirizes President Chester Alan Arthur's love for luxury and aristocratic trappings. This political artwork, created during the Gilded Age, offers a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle and excesses prevalent in Washington D. C. at the time. The image showcases an exterior view of the Capitol Hill, where men dressed in rich attire are seen arriving in carriages pulled by horses. The scene symbolizes the transportation of power and wealth to the heart of politics. President Arthur himself is depicted as Uncle Sam, representing both his position as head of state and his affiliation with the Republican Party. Through clever visual storytelling, this cartoon highlights Arthur's inclination towards extravagance while subtly criticizing his policies as president. It serves as a reminder that even those who claim to represent common people can succumb to snobbery and elitism. This historic artwork not only provides valuable insights into American politics during that era but also serves as a timeless commentary on human nature and power dynamics within society. As we reflect on this piece today, it prompts us to question our own leaders' priorities and reminds us of the importance of holding them accountable for their actions.
