ARTstor - Editorial Cartoon Collection

ARTstor has collaborated with Columbia College Chicago to share more than 3,200 images of drawings and sketches by John R. Fischetti in the Digital Library. John R. Fischetti (1916 - 1980) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist whose work appeared in the New York Herald Tribune, the Chicago Daily News, Chicago Sun-Times, The New York Times, and Stars and Stripes. Fischetti's political cartoons satirized local politics, social issues, and current events, including the Watergate scandal, the energy crisis, the economy, and terrorism. The John Fischetti Manuscript Collection at Columbia College Chicago includes over thirty notebooks containing drawings and sketches illustrating Fischetti's creative process from 1960 to 1980.
