Seller's Description:
Good in d/w. World War II-General The cartoon has a special place in the history of World War II. During the London Blitz the British upper lip was kept resolutely stiff by the antics of Strube's little man and the redfaced indignity of Low's Colonel Blimp. Fougasse's Underground posters, Lancaster's pocket cartoons, Pont's unique drawings and the work of Vicky have an immediacy that has been unaffected by the passage of time. Giles, Searle, Illingworth, Zec and many more portrayed the grim realities and humorous asides of the conflict. Across the Atlantic a discerning public enjoyed the work of Peter Arno, Arthur Szyk, Saul Steinberg, Daniel Fitzpatrick and many others. Krokodil meanwhile produced its own brand of Soviet humour and satire, and considerable talent existed in Germany, Italy, Japan, and elsewhere between 1939 and 1945. UL-XXXXXX. Large format, 160pp, 300 + cartoons.

Where historical cartoonist Mark Bryant finds these gems I do not know. This collection includes American AND foreign - German, British, etc. - cartoons illustrating the politicians, issues, and events of the pivotal world conflagration of the 20th century. A short synopsis explaining background information is provided with each. Excellent tool for POV discussions.
