EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "WORLD WAR I: CARTOON, 1916. Her Ideal American Citizen" captures a thought-provoking political cartoon by Luther D. Bradley. Created during the early years of World War I, this cartoon reflects the sentiment of American isolationism and opposition to intervention in the war. In the image, we see an exterior view of a house with a white picket fence, symbolizing traditional American values and domesticity. Standing proudly in front of it is an idealized young boy named Rollo, representing the epitome of an American citizen according to Bradley's perspective. Rollo's grandmother can be seen watching him from inside the house, suggesting that she represents older generations who hold on to isolationist beliefs and advocate for non-involvement in foreign conflicts. This powerful visual commentary highlights America's divided stance on entering World War I at that time. While some believed in maintaining neutrality and focusing on domestic affairs, others recognized the need for international engagement. Bradley's cartoon serves as a reminder of how political action was influenced by public opinion during this critical period in history. It also prompts us to reflect on how our ideals shape our understanding of citizenship and national identity. Overall, this print provides a fascinating glimpse into one artist's interpretation of America's role during World War I while raising questions about patriotism and isolationism.
