EDITORS COMMENTS
The iconic political cartoon "A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion" by Thomas Nast, created in 1870, captures the artist's first use of the donkey as the symbol of the Democratic Party. In this satirical piece, we see a lively jackass representing the Democrats kicking a deceased lion that represents Edwin Stanton, the late Republican Secretary of War. Nast's clever illustration showcases his sharp wit and commentary on American politics during that time. The image is filled with symbolism - from the majestic Capitol building in the background to the tree and grass surrounding it. The donkey's hoof strikingly connects with Stanton's lifeless body, emphasizing Nast's criticism towards him and his party. This artwork not only marked an important milestone in Nast's career but also became instrumental in establishing lasting symbols for both major political parties. The donkey would go on to represent Democrats while elephants were associated with Republicans. As viewers reflect upon this historical print, they are reminded of how art can be used as a powerful tool for social and political commentary. It serves as a reminder that even though times change, certain themes remain constant throughout history - such as satire being employed to challenge those in power.
