EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Benjamin Butler, a prominent figure in American history. Born in 1818, Butler was not only an accomplished soldier but also a respected politician. The image captures the opening of the Butler Campaign in Massachusetts, which took place in 1879. The cartoon depicted here is by Joseph Keppler and portrays Butler as a swearing sailor. It is a caricature that humorously highlights his strong personality and outspoken nature. In the cartoon, he can be seen on a sailboat with his tongue sticking out while holding a spoon – perhaps symbolizing his ability to stir up controversy or make bold decisions. This chromolithograph print offers us a glimpse into late 19th-century America and its political landscape. Benjamin Butler's reputation as both a soldier and politician made him an influential figure during this time period. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this historical artifact from their collection for all to appreciate. This print serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of American history and the individuals who have shaped it through their actions and beliefs.
