THE ANNOTATED CARTOONS BY HOMER C. DAVENPORT

Political cartoons from the Gilded Age. In the decade of the 1890s, Oregon cartoonist Homer Davenport wielded his pen to spray a steady stream of caustic caricatures onto the notables and notorious of the global political scene. Davenport published a book of over 80 political cartoons from the Gilded Age for the New York Journal during the period from 1895 through 1897. For the first time in more than a century, we revisit these cartoons by Davenport, equipped with the stories behind the faces and issues. Although Davenport had no formal art training, he became one of the highest paid political cartoonists in the world! Out Of Print. Condition: Very Fine Minus. Very softly bumped corners.
