EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print "CARTOON: BLUE LAWS, 1895. On Desert of Sahara. New Yorker (to Arab)- Call this dry!" could be: This humorous cartoon from 1895 depicts a New Yorker engaging in a conversation with an Arab man on the scorching desert of Sahara. The New Yorker exclaims, "Call this dry! Why it ain't in it with New York on a Sunday". The cartoon satirically highlights the concept of Blue Laws prevalent during that time. Blue Laws were strict regulations imposed by local governments to restrict certain activities, particularly alcohol consumption and commercial operations, on Sundays. In this context, the New Yorker humorously compares the aridness of Sahara to the lack of entertainment options available in his city on Sundays due to these laws. The lithograph captures not only the cultural differences between East and West but also reflects upon societal norms and political climate at the turn of the century in America. It showcases how even amidst extreme conditions like those found in Sahara, people still longed for their usual pastimes and freedoms. This thought-provoking artwork by Granger provides us with a glimpse into historical attitudes towards leisure activities and restrictions placed upon them during that era.
