A propos de cet article

I'm to call this a first edition, why not. Once listed it will be the Only copy of this short (I'll call it) 'booklet' for sale on the Internet. You can see the covers in the photos. The booklet has five large cartoons (see photos) by the famous St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial cartoonist Daniel Robert Fitzpatrick. They are clearly a satiric commentary on the Republican Party at the time. They are dated July 8,9,10,11 an 13, 1952. As to condition, the front cover has sun fading at its margins. Otherwise, there isn't any wear. They are very clean. The binding is stapled and quite solid throughout. The inside covers are in excellent shape and very clean. That is the case for the five cartoons, and the last page which is a blank page, an end paper I suppose you could call it. It is very clean and free of wear. So are all the pages. No creasing. No markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. 'Daniel Robert Fitzpatrick was one of the most important editorial cartoonists in the United States. He was born in Superior, Wisconsin in 1891. As a young man, Fitzpatrick dropped out of high school. When his mother discovered that he had dropped out, she asked, "What do you think you’re going to grow up to be?" Fitzpatrick retorted, "An editorial cartoonist." He studied anatomy and life drawing for two years at the Art Institute of Chicago before getting his first cartooning job at the Chicago Daily-News. In 1913 he took a job at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch where he remained until his retirement in 1958. Universally acknowledged as the dean of editorial cartoonists, "Fitz" strongly supported the rights of the underdog while attacking the conservative " establishment." Through cartoons with messages on equal rights for women and blacks, a clean environment, and concern for the militarization of America’s post-World War II foreign policies, he gained the admiration and respect of scholars, journalists, statesmen, and regular newspaper readers worldwide. As Adolph Hitler rose to power in Germany during the 1930s, Fitzpatrick anticipated a second world war. In response, he created powerful cartoons that often depicted the threat of Hitler's Nazi war machine in the form of a giant swastika rolling across Europe. His sophisticated and forceful use of imagery helped turn American public opinion against Hitler and Nazi Germany. During his lengthy career, Fitzpatrick's cartoons were syndicated in thirty-five newspapers in the United States. He won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1926 and 1955.'.…

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
