Bubblegum Propaganda?
I just discovered Bowman's 1951 Red Menace series of cards, which basically communicate the anti-Communist sentiments of the time for children. I also consider Goudey's Indian Gum series to be in a similar vein because it expresses some pretty clear stereotypes of the time about Native Americans and Manifest Destiny.
Are there other examples of this, mainstream card sets from the past that are ideologically really one-sided and function to some degree as propagandist? I also posted this in the non-sports card forum. |
Two that quickly come to mind, are the 1938 Horror's Of War & Don't Let It Happen Over Here!
Here's a card, "Communists Shot Like Beasts" https://www.qualitycards.com/pictures/11703497.jpg |
1941 War Gum. I own a copy of this one. Jess Villamor was my grandmother’s cousin.

Too many to mention 1800s "trade cards."
