Welcome to All, illustration from the American magazine Puck
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking print that captures the essence of America's historical stance on immigration. Created by Joseph Keppler, this coloured engraving showcases Uncle Sam as Noah, welcoming a diverse group of immigrants onto his symbolic ark. The image depicts a boat filled with individuals representing different nationalities and backgrounds. They are fleeing war and seeking refuge in America, carrying their baggage and hopes for a better future. The stars and stripes flag proudly waves in the background, symbolizing freedom and opportunity. However, amidst this scene of hope lies an underlying political satire. The menacing harpies perched on the gangplank represent evil forces threatening these vulnerable voyagers. It serves as a reminder that even in times of crisis or desperation, there will always be those who exploit or oppose newcomers. This cartoon-like illustration highlights the complexities surrounding immigration throughout history. It prompts us to reflect on our responsibility as a nation to welcome all who seek shelter within our borders while acknowledging the challenges faced by both immigrants and society at large. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection at New-York Historical Society, it reminds us that diversity has always been at the heart of America's identity – one built upon compassion, resilience, and unity among people from all walks of life.
