About This Item
Tampa, Fla.: Tribune Press, 1943. [104] pages. Original illustrated glossy wraps. 23 x 15 cm. Foxing to spine, light soiling to covers. Small scrape to base of title page; internally clean. Very good. FIRST EDITION. A collection of editorial cartoons about World War II reprinted from the Tampa Morning Tribune. George Robert White (1901-1964) worked for the Tribune from 1934 to 1964 and his cartoons were always featured on the front page. Approximately half of the cartoons in the book are from the period before U.S. entry into the war and present dire warnings about the growing militarization and territorial expansion of the Axis nations and the folly of American disengagement. The remainder of the cartoons celebrate Allied military victories and promote the U.S. war effort. Typical of prevailing American wartime prejudices, White depicts the Japanese with racist caricatures throughout the volume. Scarce. No other copies were found for sale at the time of cataloging (March 2020). OCLC locates ten copies; not in NUC.
