EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and thought-provoking cartoon print captures the essence of the Red Scare that gripped America in 1919. Titled "Put Them Out and Keep Them Out" it depicts a bearded Bolshevik, symbolizing the threat of communism, sneaking under the American flag. The artist's intention is clear - to instill fear and suspicion towards anyone associated with radical political movements. Published during a time when anti-immigrant sentiments were high, this cartoon reflects the widespread paranoia surrounding anarchists and Bolsheviks infiltrating American society. The torch held by Lady Liberty ominously threatens to burn down these perceived enemies of democracy. The use of symbolism is striking; the red color representing both communism and danger, while Old Glory stands tall as a patriotic emblem. This image serves as propaganda against those who deviated from mainstream American values. As we reflect on this historical period known as the Red Scare, it reminds us of how fear can drive societies to extreme measures in order to protect their ideals. It also prompts us to question our own biases towards immigrants or individuals with differing political beliefs. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this piece which continues to resonate today. Its significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its ability to provoke discussions about freedom, nationalism, and prejudice that are still relevant over a century later.
