EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of a political poster advocating for McKinley's tax code over Wilson's. The image showcases the intricate details and artistry of American School from the 19th century, now part of a private collection. The poster highlights key figures in American politics at that time, including William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, and Garret Augustus Hobart, his Vice President. It also references William Lyne Wilson, a Democratic politician known for his involvement with the Wilson Tariff. The visual narrative portrays an election scene set against a backdrop of ships symbolizing economic prosperity. Workers in factories are depicted alongside these vessels, emphasizing their reliance on favorable tax policies to alleviate their burden. Propaganda techniques are evident as this vintage piece aims to sway public opinion towards protectionism and support for McKinley's presidency. The illustration cleverly personifies statesmen as champions of labor rights while subtly promoting democratic values. The coastal setting further emphasizes America's maritime strength and its role as an influential global power during this era. Engraved with meticulous detail by Barbara Singer, this print serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression. As we delve into this artwork from Fine Art Finder, we gain insight into past political campaigns and how they utilized visual media to convey messages about economics, tariffs, elections, and democracy itself.
