EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to the American Depression of the 1930s, a period marked by economic turmoil and social unrest. The image features a political cartoon titled "What We Need is a New Pump" which cleverly satirizes Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal policies and his attempt to balance the budget. In this thought-provoking caricature, we see a mountainous landscape with a flowing stream in the foreground. Two men, dressed in period costumes, are depicted carrying a large pump towards the stream. The pump symbolizes FDR's efforts to stimulate the economy through massive government spending. The text on the cartoon emphasizes FDR's claim that he was balancing the budget while pouring an astonishing 8 1/2 billion US Dollars into emergency measures. However, critics argued that these actions were merely creating deficits rather than achieving true financial stability. The illustration technique used in this artwork combines Western script elements with intricate details such as dollar signs scattered throughout. This visual representation highlights both historical context and political commentary surrounding FDR's presidency during one of America's most challenging times. By examining this powerful image, viewers are transported back to an era when only men held positions of power in politics. It serves as a reminder of how American culture has evolved over time and invites reflection on past events that have shaped our nation today.
