Description
[Likely Newark, New Jersey]: The Author / [*Newark News*, 1965. Unbound. Near Fine. Original art. Six ink and crayon drawings of slightly varying sizes—approximately 10" x 11"—on card stock of slightly varying sizes, the largest being 15" x 18". Titles in pencil with some penciled editorial notes, four sheets with the lower right corner clipped, light wear and soil with the blank versos modestly soiled, a near fine collection. Each cartoon is Signed by Canfield in ink. Six striking Vietnam War-themed political cartoons, almost certainly from Canfield's time at the *Newark News* (of New Jersey). The cartoons seem to be critical of the war while showing a great deal of respect for the soldiers (Canfield was a WWII veteran); two of them contrast the soldiers' experience in Vietnam and the "hardships" (a TV strike; general "discontent") faced far away at home. One cartoon takes as its subject a McNamara visit to Vietnam and another to Westmoreland's request for more troops, hence our date attribution of circa 1965. Canfield was the sports and political cartoonist at the *Newark News* from 1946 to 1972 and at the *Star-Ledger* (both New Jersey) from 1972 until 1995. According to an obituary, Canfield is quoted as saying “After God created cartoonists, he realized they needed a subject. So he created New Jersey” (as a New Jersey bookstore, we feel comfortable repeating this). He as inducted into the New Jersey Literary Hall of Fame in 1988.
