Item description from seller

Inscribed in ink by all three cartoonists to Drucie Snyder, who was the daughter of the Secretary of the Treasury serving at the time and for almost the entirety of the Truman Presidency. The most distinctive of the inscriptions is unquestionably from Clifford Berryman (1869-1949), who drew a Teddy Bear for Drucie. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Berryman was in fact the originator of the Teddy Bear, which he did early in his long and distinguished career as a political cartoonist. He won the Pulitzer Price in 1944. Other than the teddy bear craze he spawned, he is best remembered for his cartoon, "Remember the Maine", which had some significance in the lead up to the Spanish-American War. 4to. 26.5 by 21 cm. Unpaginated, 40 leaves (with content). All three inscriptions are on the verso of the title page, on which the three cartoonists are shown at work in three separate b/w photos. There follows 76 full page political cartoons of one of the most singular of Presidential election years -- the one in which the supposed unpopular Truman pulled off arguably the greatest upset Presidential election in U.S. history -- it was the election in which The Chicago Tribute came out with a blazing headline that Dewey had won. What is perhaps most impressive about the cartoons entirely concentrated on a short time span and a single political contest is the sheer variety and seemingly bottomless mine of creativity manifest by the three cartoonists. James Berryman (1902-1971) won the Pulitzer Prize in 1950. Gibson Crockett (1912-2000), would later become the head cartoonist at the Star. The Star was at the time the newspaper of record in Washington. Only following a merger with the Times-Herald in 1954 would the Post begin to gain ground and eventually overtake the Star. The Star went out of business in 1981. Original wraps bound within. The recipient, Edith Cook "Drucie" Snyder Horton (1925-1999), was a close friend of Margaret Truman and was a Washington socialite into the 1980s. The cover has some rubbing. Slightly chewed spine extremities. Within essentially clean and tight.
