Canada Day: Cartoons Magazine Centennial, August 1912, Part 0
This being Canada Day, and also the bicentennial year of the War of 1812, we look back 100 years to Canadian artist Arthur G. Racey‘s cartoon regarding the centennial of that confluence (with then “Dominion Day”), in “A Century Ago and Now”.
The cartoon was originally published in the Montreal Star, and reprinted in the August 1912 issue of Cartoons Magazine.
