Lichliter Caricature

Subject

Lichliter Family
Strasburg (Va)

Description

Sometime between 1900 and 1925, one member of the Lichliter family produced this drawing. Unfortunately, whoever was responsible failed to leave any information behind.

What we do know is that the Lichliters lived on Washington Street in Strasburg. The family consisted of William, who worked for the B&O Railroad at the Strasburg Junction, Elizabeth, and their children William, Zelda, and Pauline.

Based on its location in our collection, it was most likely produced by one of the children probably during school. It would have been unacceptable for students to produce caricatures like this or to do anything considered “unproductive.”

Today many students produce similar artwork in a less restrictive atmosphere.
