EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Winter Amusement 1841: Going Down Hill" we are transported back to a moment in American political history. The print, published by H. R. Robinson in New York, depicts the aftermath of Martin Van Buren's loss in the election. As Van Buren sleds away from the White House on a snowy hill, he is supported by his loyal companions Francis Preston Blair, Thomas Hart Benton, and Amos Kendall. The scene is filled with both humor and satire as the words "K O Kicked Out" are spelled out on the hillside. This clever play on words signifies Van Buren's defeat and adds an element of political commentary to the artwork. Created by an unknown 19th-century American artist, this lithograph captures not only a specific event but also reflects broader themes of power dynamics and public sentiment during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold high office can experience setbacks and face criticism. This historical piece is now part of the collection at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts. Through its detailed imagery and satirical tone, it offers us a glimpse into America's past while reminding us that politics has always been ripe for artistic interpretation and commentary.
