About the series
In 1898, Charles Nelan compiled a single volume of satirical political cartoons for Frederick A. Stokes, capturing the jingoistic fervor and public sentiment surrounding the Spanish-American War. As both writer and artist, Nelan wielded sharp, patriotic humor to comment on the conflict, offering a vivid snapshot of turn-of-the-century American propaganda. This collection stands as a historical artifact of how comics were used to shape popular opinion during a brief but consequential war.
