EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "CARTOON: BLUE LAWS, 1895" could be as follows: "This satirical cartoon from 1895 humorously depicts the strict enforcement of 'blue laws' in America during that time. The scene portrays an angel requesting a drink of milk-and-honey from St. Peter in heaven. However, St. Peter informs him that he cannot have it on a Sunday due to the blue laws. Blue laws were regulations that restricted certain activities, such as alcohol consumption and commercial transactions, on Sundays or other religiously significant days. In this cartoon, the angel's request is denied because he failed to fill his growler (a container for carrying beer) on Saturday night when it was still legal. The artist cleverly uses symbolism with the winged angel and harpist playing heavenly music in the background to emphasize the contrast between divine bliss and earthly restrictions imposed by these laws. This political cartoon provides insight into turn-of-the-century American society and its attitudes towards drinking and leisure activities on Sundays. It also highlights how even celestial beings are subject to human-made rules. Granger Art on Demand offers this lithograph print as part of their collection showcasing historical artwork capturing significant moments in American history. "
