Details
Original pen and ink/pencil/crayon editorial cartoon drawing on art card, 1955, published in the Christian Science Monitor. Like many presidents before and since, Eisenhower finds that it easy to allow the ‘federal deficit’ to increase but a lot more difficult to reduce it and achieve a ‘balanced budget’. The fiscal cliff and the idea of a balanced budget are nothing new and have been an important domestic issue since the 1930s. Stamped on verso: “Used January 24 1955". Signed lower right, card size 36 x 29 cm, image size: 29 x 26.5 cm. In overall very good condition.
