EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of Henry Clay, an influential American lawyer and statesman. The lithograph, created in 1838, beautifully captures the essence of Clay's character and his significant role in shaping American politics during that era. In this caricature lithograph, we see a playful depiction of Clay surrounded by elements that symbolize his multifaceted personality. Dressed in early 19th-century fashion, he exudes confidence and charisma as he engages in a game of poker with other men. This portrayal highlights his reputation as a skilled negotiator and strategist, earning him the nickname "the Great Compromiser". The artist skillfully incorporates political symbolism into the image. Playing cards represent the political gamesmanship prevalent at that time, while text scattered throughout adds depth to the composition.
