Résumé
This article examines 1890s Populism through the analysis of print culture, photographs and cartoons. It explores how representations of “the people” and “the mob” became disputed territory and how the people were reframed as unfit to exercise their sovereignty. Populist intellectuals sought to educate “mobs” and transform them into an enlightened “people” while popular mobilization produced a conservative reaction which reduced the people to a violent and ignorant crowd to be controlled and studied.
