EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "NEW JERUSALEM CARTOON" by Hamilton from Judge magazine, dated 23 January 1892, offers a thought-provoking commentary on the social and political landscape of that time. In this satirical cartoon, New York City is humorously depicted as the new Jerusalem due to the significant influx of Jewish immigrants from Russia. The artist cleverly juxtaposes this notion with another reality - the emigration of our first families towards the West. Through this artwork, Hamilton highlights both the cultural diversity and westward expansion taking place in America during that era. It also touches upon stereotypes associated with Judaism and immigration at that time. The cartoon serves as a reminder of how society was grappling with these issues while undergoing rapid changes. This historical piece provides valuable insights into not only political acts but also societal attitudes prevalent in late 19th-century America. Its publication in Judge magazine further emphasizes its significance as a reflection of public opinion during that period. The Granger Collection's preservation and digitization of such artworks allow us to delve into history and gain a deeper understanding of our past. This particular print captures an important moment in American history when multiple narratives converged - immigration, religion, stereotypes, and westward expansion - all encapsulated within one powerful image.
