EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures President William McKinley as Moses, a powerful and symbolic representation of leadership and guidance. With two rays of light emanating from his top hat, McKinley stands tall next to a rock labeled "Prosperity," which is splitting open and spewing money towards a crowd of people representing the working class and the poor. The scene is filled with symbolism, reflecting the challenges faced by society during McKinley's presidency in the late 19th century. The juxtaposition of wealth flowing from prosperity towards those in need speaks to the political climate of the time, where economic inequality was a pressing issue. McKinley's portrayal as Moses suggests that he is seen as a figure capable of leading his people towards prosperity and success. The red cape labeled "McKinley" further emphasizes his role as a powerful leader who can bring about positive change for all. Overall, this print serves as both a historical document and a thought-provoking piece of art that invites viewers to reflect on themes of power, politics, and social justice. President McKinley's depiction as Moses adds an extra layer of meaning to this image.
