EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print from the Liszt Collection titled "Extermination Tammany Straight Republican Ticket" takes us back to June 27,1894. Created by American artist Frederick Burr Opper, this illustration showcases his remarkable talent for combining satire and political commentary. The scene depicted in this artwork is a living picture of chaos and deception. Opper's pen and ink drawings come alive with vibrant washes of color, adding depth to the composition. The sheet measures approximately 14 11/16 x 14 3/16 inches (37.3 x 36 cm), making it a significant piece that demands attention. The image focuses on the infamous Tammany Hall political machine, known for its corruption and manipulation during that era. Opper cleverly portrays them as an "awful fake" highlighting their deceitful practices through exaggerated caricatures. As we delve into the details of this lithograph touched with pen and ink washes, we witness the battle between Tammany Hall and the straight Republican ticket led by Thomas C. Platt. The visual narrative captures both sides engaged in fierce combat, symbolizing a struggle for power within New York politics. Frederick Burr Opper masterfully conveys his message through intricate line work and expressive characters, showcasing his keen observation skills as an artist. This print serves as a historical artifact that sheds light on America's past political landscape while also demonstrating Opper's artistic prowess.
