EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Carry Nation, a prominent figure in the temperance movement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Known for her fierce opposition to alcoholism, Nation is depicted in this cartoon from the Utica Saturday Globe newspaper in 1901. The image captures her determination and activism as she brandishes a hatchet, ready to take on the bars and bartenders that symbolize the vices of alcohol. Carry Nation's influence extended beyond mere entertainment; she was an influential political activist who fought tirelessly against the detrimental effects of alcohol on society. Her actions were seen as radical at the time, but they played a significant role in shaping public opinion and eventually led to nationwide prohibition. The cartoon also highlights an important aspect of turn-of-the-century America - gender roles. In a predominantly male-dominated society, Carry Nation fearlessly challenged societal norms by taking direct action against alcohol establishments. This portrayal emphasizes both her strength as a woman and her commitment to social change. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully captured this historical moment through their print collection. It serves as a reminder of Carry Nation's unwavering dedication to promoting temperance and sparking political action against alcoholism during an era when such issues were often overlooked or dismissed.
