EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a powerful political cartoon titled "Red Scare, 1919: Put Them Out and Keep Them Out". This American cartoon, published during the Red Scare of 1919, depicts a bearded Bolshevik stealthily creeping under the American flag. The image symbolizes the fear and paranoia surrounding communism and anarchism in early 20th-century America. The artist's intention is clear as they portray the threat of foreign ideologies infiltrating American society. The anarchist figure represents an anti-immigrant sentiment prevalent at that time, fueling fears of radical ideas spreading across borders. The burning torch held by the Bolshevik signifies their desire to ignite revolutionary fervor within America. Furthermore, this cartoon highlights the patriotic symbolism associated with Old Glory - the American flag. By positioning the intruder beneath it, there is a sense of violation and danger posed to national values and security. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of one of America's darkest periods when political action was driven by xenophobia and anti-Bolshevik sentiments. It reflects how societal anxieties can manifest through art forms like cartoons to convey messages about perceived threats to national identity. As we reflect on this piece from Granger Art on Demand, let us remember its significance in understanding past events while also recognizing our responsibility to promote inclusivity and tolerance in today's world.
