Taking an expansive view of American politics during the 20th century, the digital exhibition examines the work of one of the pre-eminent editorial cartoonists of the time. Jerry Doyle (1898-1986), a native Philadelphian and self-taught graphic illustrator, penned daily cartoons for the Philadelphia Record and the Philadelphia Daily News from the mid-1930s to the early 1980s.
