New-ish?<br /><br />In Martin Luther's day political cartoons were being printed with woodcuts on the new-ish presses. The island of England was awash in political cartoons from the early 18th century right through Punch some two hundred years later.<br /><br />Benny Franklin was publishing them in Philly. Lincoln was reading them betwixt bouts with his generals, etc. etc. Next time that I visit "home" in Ohio, I may look up this museum.

As a Chillicothe native and frequent visitor of Coulumbus, I really should have known about him, but I didn't. I'll have to check out more of his work.<BR/><BR/>Do you happen to know where he's buried? I remember seeing an "Ireland" marker in Grandview Cemetery in Chillicothe.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14461593792701495422noreply@blogger.com
