Political Cartoons: America On The Brink of War 1916
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 8 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great info on the history of animation told through the careers of great cartoonists.
Politics is on everyone's mind today, so here are some more rare political cartoons from the collection of archive supporter, Marc Schirmeister. These three articles come from the January, 1916 issue of Cartoons magazine. They paint a vivid picture of the United States on the brink of entering a World War.
See our previous post on this subject... Cartoons Magazine January 1916

I love seeing old cartoons from the early 1900s. They sure knew how to draw back then. It's also funny seeing Americans caricatured by Europeans. Thanks for posting this.
