EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bosses of the Senate, an iconic American anti-trust cartoon from 1889, captures the essence of the Gilded Age and its political landscape. Created by Joseph Keppler, this satirical print delves into the issue of monopolies and capitalism in America during that time. In this thought-provoking image, we see a group of powerful statesmen depicted as grotesque figures with exaggerated features. They are portrayed as puppeteers controlling marionettes labeled "Commerce" and "Monopoly" symbolizing their manipulation over these aspects of society. The cartoon aims to expose the corrupt practices employed by wealthy industrialists known as robber barons who amassed immense fortunes through unfair business tactics. Keppler's portrayal highlights how these influential individuals used their wealth to influence politicians and shape legislation in their favor. The title itself, "The Bosses of the Senate" suggests that these businessmen had significant control over government affairs. This artwork serves as a reminder of America's struggle against monopolistic powers during a period when economic inequality was rampant. It sheds light on political acts that favored big businesses at the expense of ordinary citizens. Today, this historic cartoon continues to resonate as it raises questions about corporate power and its impact on democracy. It reminds us to remain vigilant against any form of corruption or abuse within our own systems while striving for fairness and equality in commerce and governance alike.
