EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "PULLMAN STRIKE CARTOON. The Vanguard of Anarchy" captures a powerful political satire by W. A. Rogers in July 1894. This cartoon, created during the late 19th century, portrays prominent figures such as Eugene V. Debs, Governor Atlgeld of Illinois, Governor Wait of Colorado, and Senator William Alfred Peffer of Kansas as fools and clowns. In this thought-provoking artwork, Rogers uses vibrant colors to depict these influential men as symbols of anarchy and chaos. The banner held by one character emphasizes the anti-anarchist sentiment prevalent at that time. This image serves not only as entertainment but also as a commentary on the political climate during the turn of the century in America. It highlights the tension between labor movements and government officials while shedding light on their perceived foolishness. The historical significance lies in its portrayal of key players involved in the Pullman Strike – a major labor conflict that shook North America's industrial landscape during this period. By satirizing these individuals through caricature-like representations, Rogers offers his own perspective on their actions and decisions. As part of The Granger Collection's collection, this print provides viewers with a glimpse into American history through artistry and visual storytelling. It invites us to reflect upon past events while appreciating how political cartoons can convey complex ideas with humor and creativity
