Description:... This volume contains a number of political cartoons, with accompanying commentary, from the Herbert H. Lehman Collections located at Columbia University. The Collections include the personal and official papers of Lehman, the Governor of New York from 1933 to 1942, and United States Senator from New York from 1950 to 1957. Included within the Lehman Papers is a group of original political cartoons sent to Lehman by their creators, including Pulitzer Prize winners Rollin Kirby and Herb Block. These cartoons were special to Lehman, and he enjoyed displaying them in his home. They provide a window and a sympathetic one at that, onto some of the most important phases of Lehman's career.
