EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1937 captures a powerful political message with a touch of humor. Titled "But To Make Him Drink" the image portrays an amusing lampoon of the Democratic Party being led by none other than President Franklin Roosevelt during his New Deal era. In this clever visual metaphor, we see a horse standing next to a water pump, symbolizing the American people who are eager for change and progress. However, instead of drinking from the nearby pool, they seem hesitant and uncertain. The donkey, representing the Democratic Party under FDR's leadership, is shown diligently operating the pump in an attempt to persuade them to take action. The theme behind this thought-provoking artwork highlights one of Roosevelt's key ideas - that while you can lead someone to water (or provide opportunities through new programs), ultimately it is up to them whether or not they will embrace those opportunities and bring about positive change. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a satirical commentary on American politics at that time. It reminds us that even influential leaders like President Roosevelt faced challenges in convincing their constituents to support their initiatives fully. Through its artistic composition and underlying message, this image invites viewers to reflect on how individuals' choices shape society's destiny in times of transformational change.
