EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Mattys dream, published by John Childs, New York, 1841" captures a satirical depiction of American politics in the 19th century. The lithograph portrays Martin Van Buren, the eighth President of the United States (1837-1841), experiencing a nightmare about a "killer cider barrel". This cartoon-like illustration symbolizes Van Buren's defeat by William Henry Harrison in the presidential election. In the image, Van Buren is shown running out of the White House while being comforted by two prominent politicians of that time: John Caldwell Calhoun and Thomas Hart Benton. The artwork reflects both political commentary and humor as it highlights Van Buren's disappointment and frustration following his electoral loss. Measuring 34x47.6 cm, this historical piece is part of the collection at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when caricatures played a significant role in shaping public opinion during elections. This lithograph provides valuable insights into American presidential history and serves as an example of how art can be used to convey political satire. Its publication by John Childs in New York further emphasizes its significance as a reflection of popular sentiment during that period.
