01
Artifact Overview
Frank Beard (1842-1905), an illustrator, caricaturist, and cartoonist, began his career by sketching scenes of military life for popular publications--such as Harper's Weekly--during the Civil War. His later works promoted Christianity, warned against secularism, and targeted the social ills of the Gilded Age. This slide shows one of his illustrations from The Ram's Horn, a non-denominational Christian periodical.
