EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Shall Not Have Died in Vain" is a powerful American cartoon by D. R. Fitzpatrick, created in 1945. This artwork alludes to Abraham Lincoln's iconic Gettysburg Address of 1863, emphasizing the significance of the United States' entry into the newly established United Nations. It symbolically portrays the preservation of hard-won peace achieved through two world wars. In this thought-provoking image, we see a soldier standing at attention in his uniform, representing the countless men who sacrificed their lives for their country. The soldier's ghostly figure emerges from a triangular shape reminiscent of both a grave marker and an arrowhead, symbolizing strength and direction. Hovering above him is President Lincoln himself, depicted as an ethereal presence from heaven. His presence serves as a reminder that even though he fought during a different time period, his words still resonate today: "that these dead shall not have died in vain". This poignant cartoon captures the essence of post-war politics and emphasizes America's role as a pacifist nation seeking to maintain global harmony through its involvement with the United Nations. By joining this international organization, it suggests that America can honor those who made sacrifices while ensuring that future generations will not experience such devastating conflicts. Overall, Fitzpatrick's artwork serves as both a tribute to fallen soldiers and an urgent call for unity on an international scale—a visual representation of how history should guide us towards lasting peace rather than repeating past mistakes.
