EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "CARRY NATION CARTOON, 1901" captures the fiery spirit of Carry Nation during her crusade against alcohol in Kansas. This American newspaper cartoon from 1901 depicts Nation on the warpath, symbolizing her relentless determination to eradicate the consumption of alcohol.

In this satirical artwork, she is shown wielding a hatchet, ready to smash barrels of liquor and confront bartenders who contribute to what she saw as a destructive vice. The cartoon reflects both admiration and criticism towards Nation's activism.

This historical artifact serves as a reminder of early American efforts toward temperance and sheds light on the political acts carried out by women during that time. It showcases how individuals like Carry Nation played instrumental roles in shaping public opinion regarding alcohol consumption. "CARRY NATION CARTOON, 1901" encapsulates an important moment in American history when passionate individuals fought for change through satire and direct action.
