EDITORS COMMENTS
Justice versus Prejudice" is a powerful and thought-provoking cartoon by the renowned American political satirist, Joseph Keppler, published in Puck magazine in 1899. This iconic image, available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of the ongoing battle between justice and prejudice in society. The cartoon depicts Lady Justice, blindfolded and holding a balance, standing tall and resolute in the center of the frame. On one side, she is surrounded by a group of individuals representing various aspects of justice, including the scales of balance, the sword of truth, and the torch of enlightenment. On the other side, a menacing figure labeled "Prejudice" looms large, with a club in hand and a sneer on his face. He is surrounded by a mob of diverse individuals, each carrying signs that represent different forms of prejudice, such as racism, sexism, and religious intolerance. The caption above the image reads, "Justice is a woman, but she is not a sentimentalist." This statement underscores the idea that justice is impartial and unbiased, and that it cannot be swayed by emotions or prejudices. The image serves as a reminder that the pursuit of justice requires constant vigilance and a commitment to upholding the principles of fairness and equality for all. Despite being over a century old, "Justice versus Prejudice" remains a relevant and poignant commentary on the ongoing struggle against discrimination and injustice. This print is not only a beautiful and intriguing piece of art but also a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right and just, and never giving in to the forces of prejudice and intolerance.
