EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph cartoon from 1831, titled "The Rats Leaving a Falling House" offers a satirical portrayal of Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States. In this political caricature, Jackson is depicted standing beneath an altar symbolizing reform, which is on the verge of toppling over. Surrounding him are rats representing his cabinet members who have resigned or been dismissed. Among these rats are Secretary of War John H. Eaton, Secretary of the Navy John Branch, Secretary of State Martin Van Buren, and Treasury Secretary Samuel D. Ingham. Each rat represents a significant figure in Jackson's administration who has abandoned ship due to various reasons. This artwork serves as a commentary on the state of affairs within Jackson's presidency and his Democratic Party during its early years. The collapsing altar signifies the failure or imminent collapse of his reform agenda while highlighting the departures and resignations that plagued his administration. Created by Granger Art on Demand for historical documentation purposes rather than commercial use, this lithograph captures both the artistic style prevalent during that era and provides insight into contemporary perceptions surrounding President Andrew Jackson's leadership and political climate in America at that time.
