EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Old Granite & Wises investigating committee chosen by secret ballot, c. 1839" captures a significant moment in American history. The lithograph, created by the American School in the 19th century, showcases an intriguing scene that sheds light on politics and finance during that era. In this image, we see Levi Woodbury, an influential American Senator and supporter of President Andrew Jackson. Woodbury was known for his involvement in financial matters and played a crucial role in disciplining the United States Bank. This lithograph serves as a political cartoon depicting him alongside other members of the investigating committee. The composition is rich with symbolism and satire, showcasing male politicians caricatured to highlight their roles within the banking system. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the complex relationship between statesmen and currency during this period. Preserved by the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts, USA; this historical artifact offers a glimpse into America's past through its intricate engravings and meticulous attention to detail. As we explore this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, it reminds us of how art can serve as a powerful tool for documenting history while providing commentary on societal issues such as finance and politics.
