More about this artwork

John Samuel Pughe's "The Dog in the Manger" is a captivating illustration that brilliantly employs visual metaphor to critique political attitudes of the early 20th century. The artwork features a figure with the body of a dog and the face of a man, symbolically resting within a manger. His expression is stern and possessive, suggesting a guarding nature over the hay marked with the word "NOMINATION." Intriguingly, a donkey labeled "DEMOCRATIC PARTY" looks on with a hapless, almost resigned expression.Pughe uses this classical fable to represent a scenario where political figures, represented by the dog-man, might hinder others who are more suited but less powerful from accessing what they rightfully could utilize—in this case, the "NOMINATION." The idiom "dog in the manger" describes someone who selfishly prevents others from using something that they themselves do not need or have no use for, aptly reflecting the satire aimed at political greed and manipulation.With its rich, expressive colors and detailed illustration, Pughe not only captures the essence of personal and political conflicts of his time but also creates a timeless commentary on the nature of power and access.
