EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CARTOON: PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS, 1870. Sectarian Bitterness" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by the talented cartoonist Thomas Nast in 1870, this detailed caricature highlights the divisive issue of government funds being directed towards parochial schools. In this thought-provoking image, we see a young boy representing various ethnicities and religions standing outside an old-fashioned school building. The cartoon cleverly portrays the negative consequences of such funding through its depiction of "Sectarian Bitterness". The child's face reflects the discrimination faced by different communities during that era, including anti-Catholicism and anti-Irish sentiments prevalent at the time. Nast's artistic skills shine through as he captures not only the exterior details of the school but also manages to convey political action within his artwork. By using stereotypes associated with Irish and Jewish cultures, he emphasizes how these groups were affected by discriminatory policies surrounding education. This historical photograph serves as a reminder of America's complex past when religious tensions ran high and marginalized communities struggled for equal rights. It invites viewers to reflect on how far society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done in combating prejudice and promoting inclusivity for all.
