With the armorial bookplate of Frances Pierce Richardson on the front pastedown. John Tinney McCutcheon [1870-1949] was an American newspaper political cartoonist, war correspondent, combat artist, and author who won a Pulitzer Prize for his 1931 editorial cartoon, "A Wise Economist Asks a Question," and became known even before his death as the "Dean of American Cartoonists." McCutcheon's cartoons appeared on the front page of the Chicago Tribune for forty years. The book is a fictional journal of entries by a new congressman revealing that the once idealistic firebrand is being unwittingly steered, duped, and bribed by special interest groups.
