EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CARTOON: INTERVENTION 1916. Her Ideal American Citizen" takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - the opposition of the Senate to American intervention in World War I. Created by Luther D. Bradley, this cartoon from 1916 reflects the prevailing sentiment of isolationism that characterized America's stance during those tumultuous times. The image portrays an early 20th-century exterior with a white picket fence surrounding a quaint house. In front of it stands an elderly woman, presumably Rollo's grandmother, who represents the ideal American citizen according to Bradley's perspective. She symbolizes the values and beliefs held dear by many Americans at that time. The central figure is a young boy named Rollo, representing youth and innocence. He embodies America's future generation whose lives would be greatly impacted by decisions made regarding intervention in global conflicts. Through this thought-provoking cartoon, Bradley highlights the political action taking place within society as women like Rollo's grandmother actively participate in shaping public opinion on matters of war and peace. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of America's struggle between its desire for isolationism and its role as a global power during World War I. The cartoon serves as both a reflection of past events and an invitation for contemplation on how our ideals have evolved over time.
