Details
Original editorial cartoon on card in pen, ink and crayon, c.1947, syndicated to a number of newspapers, shows Uncle Sam being provoked and subjected to ‘diplomatic hotfoot’ (diplomatic irritations) by ‘Berlin incidents’, ‘violated hospitality’ and ‘impudent arrogance’. It is not clear what is being referred to here, but it is most likely the growing Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. Card size 37 x 29 cm (15 x 11.5 inch), image size 29 x 26 cm, signed lower right with nine zeros as underline. In very good condition
