1914 A.B. Frost Politics Politician Farm Electioneering ORIGINAL HISTORIC AA1

This is an original 1914 halftone print of a painting by A. B. Frost. This is an amusing commentary on politicians and some of their more disreputable methods of getting out the vote. In the background we see one politician engaging in the traditional campaign practice of kissing babies, while in the foreground his cohort appears to be slipping the farmer a bribe for a potential vote.

A. B. Frost

(1851-1928) Arthur B. Frost is perhaps best known for his illustrations for the Uncle Remus tales by Joel Chandler Harris, as well as for realistic hunting, shooting, fishing and golfing prints. Much of his work depicted scenes of rural America and these were often done with a humorous touch. His finely drawn and detailed illustrations appeared in many books and publications, including Harper's Weekly, Scribner's, and Life magazines.
