More about this artwork

Featured on our website is the compelling political cartoon titled "Cold Mornings in September" created by Udo Keppler in 1913. This illustration is a rich example of early 20th-century political satire, vividly capturing the socio-economic conversations of its time through symbolic imagery.At the center of Keppler's work is a large, somewhat mythical figure, shivering as he delicately steps into a serene body of water, wherein the phrase "THE NEW TARIFF" is visibly inscribed, dancing on the water's surface. The figure is adorned with a sash that reads "THE IMPORTER," which clings to his body, emphasizing his discomfort and vulnerability in this new economic climate influenced by tariff reforms.In the background, a serene and misty landscape provides a stark contrast to the central figure’s evident discomfort. Further to the right, the tattered banner inscribed with "CONGRESS" lies discarded on the ground, leading into the water, signifying perhaps the legislative body's role in the upheaval and the consequences of its decisions on commerce and trade.Udo Keppler's artistry in "Cold Mornings in September" not only speaks through its striking visual elements but also engages viewers in a deeper reflection on the impact of political and economic policies.
