Rubbing It In - An 1862 Cartoon Unveiling the Zealousness of Civil War Hospital Volunteers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Rubbing It In" takes us back to a crucial moment in American history - the Civil War. The cartoon, created in 1862, humorously exposes the overzealousness of volunteers within these war-torn hospitals. Stepping into this historical interior scene, we witness injured soldiers lying on cots while nurses attend to their needs. Amidst the chaos and pain, this political cartoon brings light-hearted relief by playfully mocking the enthusiasm of these well-intentioned volunteers. The image captures a pivotal time when America was divided and its men were called upon to fight for their beliefs. These brave souls volunteered willingly, driven by an unwavering sense of duty towards their nation. However, as depicted in this artwork from Granger Art on Demand's collection, some may have taken their roles a tad too seriously. With exaggerated gestures and comical expressions adorning both male and female characters alike, it becomes evident that even during times of great turmoil like the Civil War; there was room for satire and laughter amidst adversity. "Rubbing It In" serves as a reminder that despite facing unimaginable challenges during one of America's darkest periods; humanity still found solace in humor. This photograph print invites us to reflect on our shared history while appreciating how resilience can be found even in unexpected places.
