Marching through Georgia 1908

"Marching through Georgia" is a satirical cartoon by Louis Glackens from 1908, depicting a group of individuals marching in a procession, with a large water barrel pulled by a horse. The illustration is a parody of the American Civil War song "Marching Through Georgia", and is likely referencing the Temperance Movement, which sought to prohibit the production and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the United States. Glackens was a prominent American artist known for his urban realism and illustrations, and this work highlights his skill in capturing the absurdity and social commentary of his time. The cartoon uses humor and exaggeration to critique social and political issues, making it a valuable piece of visual history.
