EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Hyphenated Americans - By hier iss Neutral!" by Boardman Robinson offers a thought-provoking commentary on American neutrality during World War I. Created in 1915, the cartoon depicts a group of men representing different nationalities, all wearing suits with their respective flags attached to their lapels. The title suggests that these individuals are hyphenated Americans, meaning they identify both with their ethnic heritage and as citizens of the United States. The artist's intention becomes clear when examining the cartoon closely. Each man is shown holding up a sign expressing his stance on American neutrality. Some signs read "Pro-German" while others say "Pro-Allies". However, one figure stands out from the rest; he holds up a sign that simply states, "By hier iss Neutral!". This character represents those who chose not to take sides and remained neutral amidst the conflict. Robinson's artwork raises questions about loyalty and patriotism during times of war. It challenges viewers to consider whether remaining neutral is an act of cowardice or an expression of peace-seeking values. Furthermore, it invites reflection on how diverse communities within America navigate complex geopolitical situations. Overall, this historical photograph print serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities surrounding World War I and encourages us to critically examine our own beliefs regarding national identity and political action in times of global crisis.
