Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944), ‘Like the Moth, It Works in The Dark’, 1923”In the wake of World War I, membership in the Ku Klux Klan grew to unprecedented levels in the 1920s, rising to exceed four million people nationally. Gibson created a compelling visual metaphor for the alarming threat this rise posed to national unity in this powerful political cartoon published in a double page spread in Life.”Source -- source link
