'''''This Is Her First Lynching''''' is a 1934 anti-[[Lynching in the United States|lynching]] cartoon by American artist [[Reginald Marsh (artist)|Reginald Marsh]].<ref name=ritchey></ref>
==Description==
The cartoon was published in ''[[The New Yorker]]'' in 1934, and republished in ''[[The Crisis]]'' (the [[NAACP]]'s journal),<ref name=apel></ref> and depicts a mob in a rural part of America at a lynching. The mob consists of white people, men and women with wide-brimmed hats and bonnets, with a farmhouse in the back; they are watching a Black man being burned on the viewer's left, outside of the picture. At right, an older woman holds up a young girl, who is looking at the lynching in a "pensive and perhaps confused" way; the older woman tells her neighbor, "This is her first lynching".<ref name=ritchey/>
[[Walter Francis White]], leader of the [[NAACP]] and a longtime advocate of anti-lynching bills, used the image in 1935 in an anti-lynching art exhibition, ''An Art Commentary On Lynching'', in New York City, alongside works like ''[[The Law Is Too Slow]]'' by [[George Bellows]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
==Meaning and evaluation==
The image shows lynching as a communal event, staged for entertainment purposes, and how women, usually considered to be peaceful and nurturing, participate in the violent affair and initiate their children into it. Critic Apel comments that the elision of the Black body allows viewers to feel somewhat comfortable, and helps create a distance between the subject matter and the viewer, which in turn allows the viewer to feel moral superiority over the mob--in contrast to for instance Bellows's ''The Law Is Too Slow''.<ref name=apel/>
The scene works, according to Andrew Ritchey and Barry Ruback, by way of [[deindividuation]]: the blurry faces and bodies that make up a single mass indicate that the participants have lost themselves in a greater group, which is given by many scholars as the most important reason lynchings, in all their norm-breaking atrocity, could happen.<ref name=ritchey/>
