Roger A. Fischer examines the emergence of Theodore Roosevelt as a subject for political cartoonists in the years 1883-1884. Fischer highlights Roosevelt’s battles with the Tammany Hall political machine in New York City and his role at the 1884 Republican National Convention. Fischer argues that Roosevelt received a lot of attention because he was from New York City where the major magazines of the time had their offices.
The article features seven cartoons depicting Roosevelt and others, and it also includes a listing of the officers of the Theodore Roosevelt Association along with the members of its executive committee.
