Fischer, Roger A. Them Damned Pictures: Explorations in American Political Cartoon Art
North Haven, CT Archon 1996 0208022988 / 9780208022981 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket Signed by Author
An association copy inscribed to Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Paul Conrad, "To Paul Conrad, with immense admiration and many thanks-Roger Fischer, 5 April 1996." Fischer surveys the art and power of political cartoons in the US through the 19th and 20th centuries. He demonstrates the freedom with which cartoonists portrayed politicians they did not like and created insulting stereotypes of such groups as native Americans, Blacks, Irish, and Jews. He also describes how cartoonists became political figures in their own right and were subject to the same temptations of corruption as others. Chapters also focus on the Statue of Liberty, the Lincoln memorial, literary allusions, and Richard Nixon. ; Signed by Author
