EDITORS COMMENTS
The "Coolidge Cartoon, 1928" captures a pivotal moment in American history. Created by Rollin Kirby and published in the New York World on January 16th, 1928, this political cartoon reflects the news of an additional 1,000 marines being ordered to Nicaragua. The image depicts President Calvin Coolidge surrounded by men listening intently under a palm tree on a Caribbean island. Intriguingly titled "Do I Hear Firing?", the cartoon raises questions about America's involvement in Latin America during that era. It alludes to the Roosevelt Corollary and its impact on foreign policy decisions made by Republican administrations at the time. Kirby's artistic style is evident in his attention to detail and ability to convey complex ideas through visual imagery. Through this print, he offers viewers a glimpse into the political acts shaping America's relationship with Nicaragua and other countries within Latin America. As we examine this historical artifact today, it serves as a reminder of how political cartoons can capture significant moments and provoke thought even decades later. This particular piece invites us to reflect on past events while considering their relevance to contemporary issues surrounding international relations and American interventionism abroad.
