A New Departure in Bar ls; Chorus of Political 'Workers' - This is the worst bar l we ever struck!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this colorful lithograph by Frederick Burr Opper, we are transported back to the year 1886, where a lively scene unfolds in a bustling bar. The cartoon, originally published in Puck magazine on October 6th of that year, captures the satirical essence of American politics during this era. The central figure depicted is Henry George, an influential writer and politician known for his advocacy of the land value tax. He stands tall amidst a chorus of political "workers" who express their discontent with the state of affairs. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, Opper's caricatures add humor to the scene. Surrounded by stacks of books and barrels symbolizing knowledge and industry respectively, these men represent various facets of American society - mayors, office holders, candidates - all engaged in animated conversation about politics. A top hat-wearing statesman can be seen engaging with a female writer at one end while others passionately debate nearby. Opper's artwork not only serves as social commentary but also highlights the importance of literature and intellectual discourse within political circles. Through satire and wit, he invites viewers to reflect on America's political landscape at that time. This print from Fine Art Finder offers us a glimpse into history – reminding us that even over a century ago, people were grappling with issues similar to those faced today.
