The American Presidency in Political Cartoons 1776-1976

12 May–27 June, 1976

American political cartoons represent 200 years of popular opinion of the presidency and the men who have held the office. The exhibition explores the changes and shifts in that popular opinion through Federal Period broadsheets, 19th century lithographs, and 20th century newspaper cartoons by such notable artists as Thomas Nast, Adalbert Volk, Joseph Keppler, Paul Conrad, Robert Grossman, and David Levine.

Curators: The political science and art history departments of the University of California at Berkeley.

The catalogue was funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, D.C.
