Bar Thuldys Statue - Liberty Frightenin de World, 1886. A Captivating Caricature of African American Statue of Liberty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing print captures a unique and thought-provoking depiction of the iconic Statue of Liberty from 1886. Created by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, renowned lithographers of the 19th century, this hand-coloured lithograph showcases their exceptional artistic skills. In this caricatured image, we witness an African American woman embodying Lady Liberty herself. Dressed in vibrant clothing with an apron adorned with stars and stripes, she holds a flaming torch high above her head while gesturing towards the sky. The rooster perched on her arm adds a touch of symbolism to the scene. The artwork cleverly incorporates elements such as books and banners that represent literature and freedom, highlighting America's rich cultural heritage. However, what truly sets this piece apart is its ability to evoke mixed emotions - fear mingled with pride. While intended as advertising for Mutual Accident Association insurance company (which shall not be mentioned here), it transcends commercial use by sparking conversations about race relations during that era. It challenges viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about America's past while celebrating diversity and progress. As we gaze upon this lithotint print today, let us reflect on how far we have come in our pursuit of liberty for all citizens. May it serve as a reminder that art has the power to provoke change and inspire dialogue even across centuries.
