EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print "WORLD WAR I: CARTOON, 1916. Perhaps They Would Like it for a Figurehead?" could be: "This thought-provoking cartoon from April 1916 by Luther D. Bradley for the Chicago Daily News captures the sentiment towards American neutrality during World War I. Titled 'Perhaps They Would Like it for a Figurehead?', this anti-pacifist artwork reflects on the political action and pro-war stance prevalent at that time. In the center of the cartoon stands an imposing bald eagle, symbolizing America's strength and power. However, instead of being revered as a figurehead leading into war, it is surrounded by men representing neutral pacifists wearing top hats. These figures are portrayed as dodos, extinct birds known for their inability to adapt to changing circumstances. Bradley's illustration cleverly suggests that America's neutrality in such a global conflict may lead to its own demise or irrelevance if not actively involved in supporting one side or another. The artist challenges viewers to question whether remaining neutral truly aligns with America's values and interests. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of how public opinion shifted over time regarding involvement in World War I and highlights the complexities surrounding political decisions during times of international crisis.
