EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "McKinley Cartoon, 1900" captures a powerful political satire from the turn of the century. Created by Frederick Burr Opper as part of his cartoon series "Willie and His Papa" this particular piece was published in William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal in 1900-01. In this thought-provoking artwork, President William McKinley is depicted as a captive of the trusts, symbolizing the influence that big business had on politics during that era. Senator Mark Hanna, an influential figure in Republican politics at the time, also features prominently in the cartoon. The image portrays him alongside McKinley, suggesting their close relationship and highlighting their alignment with corporate interests. The artist cleverly uses humor to convey a serious message about political corruption and its impact on American society. By portraying McKinley as a prisoner and Hanna as his captor, Opper criticizes the perceived control that corporations held over government officials. This historical artifact offers valuable insight into early 20th-century American politics and serves as a reminder of ongoing debates surrounding trust regulation and anti-trust laws. It showcases how art can be used to comment on important social issues while entertaining audiences through witty visual storytelling.
