EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1881 titled "CARTOON: MONOPOLY" is a powerful allegory that speaks volumes about the American society of its time. The image depicts Uncle Sam, the personification of the United States, standing alongside Hercules, symbolizing strength and power. Together, they are determined to crush the monstrous figure representing monopoly. In this thought-provoking illustration from Harper's Weekly, we witness Uncle Sam advising Hercules on how to defeat this menacing force. With a resolute expression on his face, Uncle Sam encourages Hercules by saying, "That's right, my boy. That's the way to crush him; and if you fail, I'll see what I can do". This statement reflects both their determination and their awareness of the potential consequences if they don't succeed in dismantling monopoly. The artist skillfully captures not only the struggle against monopolistic practices but also highlights America's reliance on newspapers and telegraph as tools for spreading information during that era. The presence of a club suggests unity among those fighting against this economic dominance. Granger Art on Demand presents us with an intriguing historical artifact that sheds light on late 19th-century America's concerns regarding monopolies. It serves as a reminder of our ongoing battle for fair competition in today's world while showcasing artistic talent through intricate engravings.
