No Wonder He Was Ill
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical cartoon by George Luks, created in 1899, depicting the suffering President William McKinley and his watchful companion Mark Hanna. The scene takes place in an interior setting with a chair and a window in the background. McKinley, portrayed as a giant figure, is shown seated with a striped suit and an expression of agony on his face, symbolizing his illness. Hanna, known for his influential role within the Republican Party during that era, watches over McKinley attentively. The cartoon captures the political scandal surrounding embalmed beef at that time. A demon-like caricature representing this controversy looms over them both. The artist's attention to detail is evident through elements such as McKinley's furrowed brow and Hanna's cigar-smoking habit. Additionally, there is a spittoon nearby which further emphasizes their presence as men of power. Luks' clever use of satire highlights the public perception of McKinley's health issues while also critiquing political acts associated with him and Hanna. This print serves as both historical documentation and social commentary on American politics during the late 19th century. This artwork from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into this significant period in American history when scandals were rife and political figures faced intense scrutiny.
