EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Before and After Taking: Frontispiece from Cartoons or our War with Spain" by Charles Nelan in 1898 offers a thought-provoking glimpse into America's expansionist policies during the Spanish-American War. The image, part of the Universal Images Group (UIG) collection, showcases Nelan's generally supportive stance towards the United States while expressing concerns about its growing appetite for territorial acquisition. In this artwork, Nelan skillfully captures the essence of America's transformation before and after engaging in conflict with Spain. The 'before' scene depicts a peaceful and idyllic landscape symbolizing pre-war innocence. However, as one gazes upon the 'after' section, an unsettling shift becomes apparent. Here we witness Lady Liberty standing amidst a chaotic battleground strewn with fallen soldiers and shattered remnants of war machinery. Nelan's work serves as a visual critique on American imperialism and its consequences. By juxtaposing these contrasting scenes, he raises questions about the ethical implications of expanding national interests through military intervention. While his support for his country is evident throughout this piece, it also reflects his reservations regarding unchecked expansionism. This historic photograph not only provides us with valuable insights into America's past but also invites us to reflect on similar issues that persist today. It reminds us to critically examine our nation's actions and consider their long-term effects on both domestic affairs and international relations.
