In this 1906 political cartoon, The Proper Way to Kill the White House Turkey by Charles Lewis Bartholomew (1869-1949; editorial cartoonist, Minneapolis, MN, USA),
the artist comments on one of the scandals surrounding President Theodore Roosevelt
(1858-1919; 26th US President, 1901-1909, Washington, DC, USA).
By humanizing the handling of the bird, the artist makes light of how turkeys are
traditionally treated in the holiday season. Loosely tethered by his neck, wings,
and legs to a lawn chair, this cartoon turkey is attended by the President's personal
physician, Dr. Presley Marion Rixey (1852-1928; Surgeon General of the US Navy, 1902-1910,
Washington, DC, USA). The physician administers chloroform to the bird while a crying
nurse holds a sponge and palpates the turkey's pulse with her other hand. In the background,
a remorseful President Roosevelt dabs his own tears with a handkerchief (Figure).
