EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print by James T. Berryman, created in 1937, cleverly depicts President Franklin D. Roosevelt's unsuccessful attempt to pack the Supreme Court with new justices, drawing a parallel to Napoleon's infamous retreat from Moscow. The artist skillfully combines political satire and historical references to convey a powerful message about Roosevelt's controversial move. In the cartoon, we see an animated representation of FDR wearing his iconic hat and leading a procession towards the Supreme Court building. However, instead of triumphant success, he is met with resistance as justices symbolized by Russian soldiers stand firm against his efforts. This imagery draws a striking comparison between Roosevelt's failed court-packing plan and Napoleon Bonaparte's disastrous retreat from Moscow during the Napoleonic Wars. The use of satire in this artwork highlights the public opinion surrounding Roosevelt's New Deal policies and his attempt to reshape the judiciary branch for political gain. It also reflects concerns about potential abuse of power and erosion of checks and balances within American democracy. James T. Berryman masterfully captures this pivotal moment in American history through his detailed drawing style and nuanced symbolism. This thought-provoking piece serves as a reminder of how even influential leaders face challenges when attempting significant changes within their respective systems.
