EDITORS COMMENTS
The Good Samaritan: A Beacon of Hope in the 1880s America This and thought-provoking cartoon, created by the renowned German-American artist Joseph Keppler between 1880 and 1889, is a striking representation of the moral values and societal issues prevalent during the 1880s in the United States. The image, published in Puck, a popular satirical weekly magazine, showcases an allegorical scene that continues to resonate with contemporary audiences. In the center of the composition, we find the biblical figure of the Good Samaritan, symbolizing compassion and kindness towards fellow human beings. He is depicted as a well-dressed, bearded man, carrying an injured traveler on his back, demonstrating the selfless act of helping those in need. The background of the print reveals a bustling urban landscape, filled with various ethnicities and social classes, reflecting the diverse and complex nature of America during this period. The use of color lithography adds a vibrant and dynamic quality to the artwork, making it a standout piece from the 19th century. The rich, bold hues bring the characters and setting to life, further emphasizing the message of unity and empathy. This print is now part of the prestigious collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the artistic school of the 19th century and the cultural heritage of America. The Good Samaritan serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion and kindness, values that remain relevant in today's world.
