EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color engraving from the 19th century captures a momentous event in American history known as "The Great Cheese Levee". On February 22,1837, President Andrew Jackson received an extraordinary gift from his admirers in upstate New York - a colossal 1,400-pound cheese. This unique spectacle unfolded at the White House when hundreds of visitors flocked to witness this grand gesture. In this bustling scene, men and women of all walks of life can be seen eagerly participating in the tradition. The crowd is adorned with top hats and elegant attire, reflecting both the upper-class society and democratic spirit prevalent during that era. Even children are present, marveling at this extraordinary sight alongside African Americans who were part of America's diverse fabric. As tradition dictates, only a small piece was saved for President Jackson's consumption while enthusiastic spectators carried away most of the mammoth cheese. This whimsical display showcases not only their admiration for their leader but also highlights America's love affair with cheese. This remarkable print serves as a testament to our nation's rich history and its peculiar customs. It reminds us that even amidst political fervor and societal divisions, there are moments where we come together to celebrate something as simple yet universally cherished as cheese.
