EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1859, as we delve into a whimsical police cartoon featured in a weekly publication. The image, captured by John A. Kouwenhoven for his book "Adventures of America 1857-1900" transports us to a charming street scene in the United States during the 19th century. In this lively illustration, we see men, women, and children enjoying their time outdoors while engaging in various activities. Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, a group of individuals can be seen playing with hoops - an entertaining game popular at that time. Dressed in period attire, including elegant dresses and dapper suits, these figures add charm to the scene. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the comical portrayal of policemen within this cartoon. With exaggerated features and playful expressions on their faces, they bring humor to an otherwise ordinary day on the streets. This light-hearted depiction reminds us that even law enforcement officers have moments of leisure amidst their duties. Preserved through time by Harper & Brothers Publishers' printing expertise from New York and London in 1938, this monochrome engraving showcases both artistic skill and historical significance. As we gaze upon this delightful snapshot from America's past, it serves as a reminder that joyous moments can be found even amidst everyday life – then as well as now.
