EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Running the Machine 1828" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created with remarkable attention to detail and skillful illustration technique, this piece offers a satirical commentary on politics, democracy, and capitalism during the early years of the United States. The scene unfolds around a large table where a medium group of men is gathered. Only men are present in this depiction, reflecting the societal norms of that era. Among them stands Abraham Lincoln himself, who would later become one of America's most iconic presidents. The room exudes an atmosphere of togetherness as these influential figures engage in intense discussions about production, communication, and currency. The cartoonish elements add humor and lightness to what could otherwise be considered serious matters. Notably, banknotes featuring Western script adorn the walls—a symbol of wealth and power—while text scattered throughout the image further emphasizes themes related to progress and political discourse. "Running the Machine 1828" serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic masterpiece by Nathaniel Currier from his renowned firm Currier & Ives. It provides us with valuable insights into American culture at that time while reminding us how far we have come since then. This print is truly an extraordinary representation of our past intertwined with politics and economics—an intriguing glimpse into bygone days that continue to shape our present world.
