Configurando os sinais

1904

Uncle Sam takes charge as a grand signalman in this 1904 political cartoon, hoisting flags reading 'Big Crops/Prosperity' and 'Business/Confidence' from the U.S. Capitol dome. Below him, a jubilant landscape features crowds cheering from labeled plots representing major cities like Boston, Chicago, and New York, all united in celebration. Created by Grant Hamilton for *Judge* magazine, this piece served as optimistic propaganda for Theodore Roosevelt’s re-election, broadcasting a message of national economic success. The maritime-style flags suggest the 'Ship of State' is successfully signaling good times to the entire country.
