Event Details

Come to the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library to view the exhibit Campaigns & Cartoons: The Evolution of the Role of Caricature in Political Persuasion. You’ll see original political cartoons from 1860-1912. These unique art works demonstrate the evolution of such symbols as Uncle Sam, Miss Columbia, and the Democrat donkey and Republican elephant. Starting Monday, October 13th and ending on Thursday, October 30th, the cartoons will be on display in the Hussey Room from 2-4 PM Monday thru Saturday (not on Sundays). On Tuesday, Oct. 28 at 7pm, Julian Ridlen will give a talk on the historical perspective that the cartoons represent. The exhibit, from the collection of Julian and Sue Ridlen, is generously on loan from the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site and was made possible by a grant from the Library Foundation.
