EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CARTOON: HOMESTEADER, 1909. The Dummy Homesteader; or, The Winning of the West" takes us back in time to an era of early American history. Illustrated by Udo J. Keppler and published in Puck magazine in 1909, this thought-provoking image captures the essence of westward expansion during that period. In this allegorical cartoon, we see a lone homesteader standing proudly amidst vast open land. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that he is not a real person but rather a scarecrow-like figure - a dummy homesteader symbolizing the challenges faced by those who ventured into uncharted territories. The cartoon serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by men who sought to claim their piece of America's frontier. It reflects both the courage and vulnerability inherent in such endeavors. With its detailed illustration and accompanying text, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on America's rich history and the spirit of adventure that drove individuals to explore new horizons. Preserved by Library of Congress' Granger Art on Demand collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic talent behind it but also provides insight into an important chapter in American history – one characterized by determination and resilience as settlers pushed further westward towards untamed lands.
