More about this artwork

Welcome to our curated exhibition of politically charged artwork, where we highlight "A Tried Watch-Dog Who Will Be Retained" by John Samuel Pughe, crafted in 1901. This satirical piece is a vivid example of the intersection between art and political commentary from the early 20th century.In this colorful lithograph, we encounter a rather unusual watchdog—a human-headed dog, embodying U.S. Pension Commissioner H. Clay Evans—fervently guarding the doors of the U.S. Treasury. The dog is marked by a collar that identifies it as 'Evans', underscoring its role as a fiercely loyal guardian against any potential malfeasance. Confronting this formidable watchdog is a diminutive pension agent, labeled by his hat and a satchel emblazoned with 'Fraudulent Claims.' He appears to be pleading or arguing with the steadfast canine, illustrating the ongoing conflicts and negotiations typical of governmental fiscal oversight.The backdrop of the U.S. Treasury building adds a sobering layer of government authority and responsibility to the image. Pughe employs humor and caricature to address themes of fiscal integrity and government accountability, inviting viewers to reflect on the bureaucratic challenges and ethical dilemmas of that era.
