Drawing Power: Original Editorial Cartoons

Editorial cartoons have been an important feature in our country's newspapers even before the original colonies declared independence to become the United States of America. With recognizable symbols, caricatures and humor, editorial cartoonists have provoked readers to think and clarify their own opinions about the hot topics of the day.



The W. R. Poage Legislative Library is celebrating the art of editorial cartooning with a new exhibition titled, "Drawing Power: Original Editorial Cartoons."

The exhibition will run through December 20 and is open and free to the public. Exhibition catalogs are available at the following Libraries: Moody, Jones, Poage, Armstrong Browning and The Texas Collection. An online version of the exhibition ia available. All exhibition cartoonists are listed in the box on the right. If you click on their name you will get:

• a biography
• a link to their cartoons being used in the exhibit, with a caption provided by Robert Darden
• a link to their personal Web site or newspaper's Web site, if available
• a photo, if available
• a self-caricature, if available
