EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CARTOON: ANARCHISTS, 1885. Gothams Gospel Needs" takes us back to the late 19th century in New York City. The image showcases a thought-provoking American magazine cartoon from 1885 that satirizes the prevalence of anarchists in the city during that time. In this intriguing artwork, we see Johann Most, a prominent anarchist figure of the era, depicted in the center foreground. The cartoon cleverly questions why missionaries are being sent to Africa when there is an urgent need for their presence among what it refers to as the "Barbarous tribes of the metropolis". The artist's use of satire and symbolism highlights societal concerns surrounding political action and religious beliefs at that time. It also sheds light on how Christianity was perceived within this context. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into New York City's past, capturing both its vibrant streets and its complex social dynamics. As we observe this piece today, it serves as a reminder of how society has evolved over time while raising questions about our own present-day challenges. Overall, this print invites viewers to reflect on issues such as cultural diversity, political ideologies, and religious influence within urban environments – topics that continue to resonate with contemporary audiences despite being captured more than a century ago.
