Cartoons on the war

Robinson, Boardman, 1876-1952, Smith, Ray, bookseller · 1915 · New York : E.P. Dutton & Company · 9 pictures

Cartoons on the War is a 1915 wartime collection of cartoon prints by Boardman Robinson, published in New York by E.P. Dutton for a general readership following the outbreak of the First World War. The pictures are loose lithographic drawings with soft grey tonal shading on cream paper, showing soldiers, street scenes and a mother with a child. A designer could take from them the expressive use of crayon-like texture, economical figure silhouettes and the mood of wartime civilian life.

World War, 1914-1918
