Title:: No Holds Barred: Political Cartoons of the Gilded Age
When:: 08-24-2008 - 12-31-2008
Where:: Michigan State University Museum - East Lansing
Category:: Fine Arts

Description

Among the most important developments in the popularization of the Gilded Age press (the late 19th Century) was the increasingly sophisticated use of visual ridicule -- political cartoons that informed, aroused, and pronounced on myriad contemporary issues, explains Samuel J. Thomas, MSU professor of history and the exhibition's curator. Favorite targets included graft and fraud that then, as now, too often characterized political life, most often at the local and state levels, but also at times at the national level.
