From powerful wartime images to satirical sketches these are the worlds most influential political cartoons.
Does it sometimes seem as if our political culture is a political cartoon?
Political cartoon from 1839 satirizing the 'gag rule' in Congress which prohibited discussion of slavery and abolition. Obviously that didn't quite pan out in the end, but here John Quincy Adams is shown cowering at the frown of a Whig supporter of slavery. Adams is shown with abolitionist newspapers and a resolution to recognize Haiti.See, Haiti appears in US political culture throughout the 19th century. Note to self, read more about Adams and his support for abolitionist causes and recognition of Haiti. Source: http://primarysourcenexus.org/2012/04/featured-image-abolition-frowned-down/ "Horizontal print caricaturing the self-made emperor of Haiti and his court. Soulouque wears an elaborate military uniform and a crown. He holds a sword in his right hand and beckons to another man with his left, saying, "Come along niggar, come along, dont be affraid, we's flesh & blood like youself ... now den, I Soloque emqeror [sic] ob Hayti by de autoity in my west do create de, grand duke ob de emqire [sic]." The future grand duke, also in elaborate uniform with large plumes, bows before him as a member of the audience encourages him to bow lower. At right, three figures identified below the image as resident English, American, and French men complain of the smell, the Englishman holding a scent bottle to his nose and the Frenchman retching, and discuss the preference of "colored people" for "monarchial forms & ceremony." At right, a woman identified as the empress slouches low on her throne. A young man in cap and gown is identified as the prime minister." American caricature of Soulouque and his nobility. In truth, Soulouque's nobility was preposterous, but the racist discourse attributed to Soulouque's faction (which seems to draw on stereotypes of African-American vernacular english in 1849 or 1850) clearly reveals how, to US whites, all blacks are the same: equally inferior. Blacks, according to the English, French, and American at the right in the image smell bad and prefer a monarchical form of government, presumably due to some racist myths about blacks being too dumb or savage to understand democracy and restraint. See, part of the reason I am fascinated by Haitian history is how well it parallels 20th and 21st century Western discourse on post-colonial Africa. Much like Mobutu's Congo/Zaire or more recently, Mugabe's Zimbabwe, whites in Europe and North America use their media (which of course includes political cartoons) to ridicule and perpetuate racist exaggerations and beliefs about the incapacity for blacks to, for instance, build democratic states, or a play on the ludicrous monarchical or imperial titles of ex-slaves and their descendants. You know, things haven't changed much since the mid-19th century, Western discourse and media coverage on Africa or predominantly black countries continues to rely on similar tactics and stereotypes.

Like my post on orangutans, black women, and Bushmen explains, the growing influence of scientific racism and other pseudoscience helped promote such vile and offensive portrayals of we people who are darker than blue. Source: http://bir.brandeis.edu/handle/10192/3577 Another Daumier piece from the same site as the above image. Self-explanatory and clearly satirical, since Soulouque would likely never have gotten away with or dared try to force a European journalist into a cauldron. This image is from 1850 while the above is from 1856, which, if I remember correctly, was one year after Soulouque's failed second invasion of the Dominican Republic.
