The Religious Views of Frank Beard and the Ram's Horn.
We have scanned these images from The Ram's Horn because the visual material in the magazine seemed especially vivid. We found these issues in the Center for Research Libraries, a cooperative institution among libraries to which scholars at Ohio State University have access. Professor Austin Kerr first encountered these visual materials during his research on the prohibition movement; the Anti-Saloon League and other dry organizations often reprinted cartoons by Frank Beard that appeared in The Ram's Horn. We offer these materials in our World Wide Web service because we find them useful in highlighting a social gospel viewpoint important during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.
