Immigration, Politics and Caricature: Ethnic and Political Images from the Appel, Arkell and Zim House Collections
March 9, 2008 - June 15, 2008
The Appel Collection of immigrant and ethnic caricatures from Judge and Puck magazines date from the late 19th century to World War I, a period of massive migration to the United States. The images, sometimes humorous, sometimes very disturbing, depict American values and attitudes of the period. Original art by the cartoonists Gilliam and Zim will be shown alongside the magazine illustrations.
Exhibition funded, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency.
