EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print captures a humorous yet thought-provoking scene featuring American president Ulysses Grant. Depicted in the image is Grant, portrayed as a mischievous character, climbing on the shelves of Uncle Sam's office to steal a jar labeled "third term". In his daring attempt, he accidentally spills a pot symbolizing habeas corpus, the guarantee of personal freedom. The artist skillfully conveys the consequences of Grant's actions by showing him caught in the act and being pushed away from the spilled pot by "public opinion" represented by a stick with that label. This clever visual metaphor highlights how public sentiment can hold leaders accountable for their decisions and actions. The engraving was created by Louis Houssot and published in 1876 to illustrate William Hepworth Dixon's story titled "La conquete blanche" (The White Conquest). It appeared in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton and published by Hachette edition in Paris. Leonard de Selva has preserved this historical artwork as part of his private collection. The print serves as both an artistic representation of political satire during President Grant's era and a reminder of the importance of public opinion in shaping governance.
