About this image...Title: Josiah The First, 1812Summary: Caricature of wealthy American politician and civic reformer Josiah Quincy, an outspoken apologist for Great Britain and an opponent of the War of 1812. Quincy stands stiffly on a rocky shore while fish frolic in the sea behind him. He wears a crown and a regal red and gold coat on whose breast is a pair of crossed codfish. He holds a scepter in his left hand, and says, "I Josiah the first do by this my Royal Proclamation announce myself King of New England, Novia Scotia and Passamaquoddy, -- Grand Master of the noble order of the Two Cod Fishes."Notes: Caption label from exhibit "Monstrous Craws...": Contemporary cartoonists who know the history of their profession sometimes seek inspiration in the works of past masters. In the wake of the Watergate scandal, Edward Sorel (b. 1929) portrayed President Richard Nixon as a tyrannical monarch. The motif was first used in America by the British-born cartoonist William Charles (1776-1820), who immigrated to the United States in 1806. During the War of 1812 Charles, who quickly took up the cause of his adopted land, produced this austere and amusing parody of Senator Josiah Quincy of Massachusetts, "Grand Master of the noble order of the Two Cod Fishes." Quincy was highly criticized at the time for arguing against war with England and soon resigned from Congress in the face of such vehement attacks.Creator: Charles, William, 1776-1820, artistOriginal Date: 1812 or 1813.Subject: Quincy, Josiah,--1772-1864Collection: Cartoon Prints, American.
