McCUTCHEON, John T. (1870-1949)
Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Original signed ink drawing 14½" X 18½" n.p. 1930. Very good. Slight edgewear and minor soiling. Labeled "The Inquiring Reporter. He asks the question 'Do you think the London Naval Treaty insures parity in American and British naval strength'" in cursive by McCutcheon on the lower margin. This text-heavy six-panel piece depicts the inquiring reporter notepad in hand listening to six persons all male of course some of them obviously in Chicago surroundings respond to this question. Upper left panel: dapper gent in old-time golf duds gold buddies behind him replies "No not so long as the British fleet has the Rodney and the Nelson." Upper right panel: Fellow in small boat on the Chicago River answers "Not so long as Britain has a great preponderance of fast merchant ships capable of being quickly converted into 6 inch auxiliary cruisers and commerce destroyers." Middle left panel: Stodgy executive-type seated behind impressive desk and bookcases offers: "No but we may in 1938 -- if the U.S. builds up to the limit allowed by the treaty -- and if Britain waits till we catch up." Middle right panel: Pudgy wader in old-time swimsuit on crowded Chicago beach front observes "We get parity in submarines destroyers and aircraft carriers -- and possibly in 8 inch cruisers six years from now -- inferiority in capital ships and 6 inch cruisers." Lower left panel: Driver stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic some things in Chicago never change opines "Possibly in American waters eventually but not on our distant trade routes." Lower right panel: Pedestrian clinging to Chicago River street bridge as it rises up shouts to reporter clinging to other side "Not so long as we are hopelessly inferior in naval bases." Unlike contemporary editorial cartoons which would never get away with so much text earlier editorial cartoons such as this prime example often took more than a few seconds to grasp and assumed a firm understanding of detailed political topics of the day. Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. unknown

McCUTCHEON, John T. (1870-1949)
Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Original signed ink drawing 14½" X 19" n.p. 1931. Very good. Very minor and bit of soiling. Labeled "Cartoons of the Day" in cursive by McCutcheon on the lower margin followed by three subtitles this handsome three-panel piece contains three unrelated topics. The top panel titled "No time to waste" celebrates aviator Wiley Post and navigator Harold Gatty's June 1931 record-breaking eight-day flight around the world. At Left Post's plane the "Winnie Mae" is about to land and Post leans out holding up two fingers and shouting "Lunch for two!" From a building at right labeled "October Field Moscow" three waiters rush each carrying a large platter one labeled "Zakuski" another "Cabbage Soup" and the third "Cucumbers". Moscow was one of fourteen stops the pair made on their famed flight. The middle panel titled "The Grave Digger gets a big surprise" must have been occasioned by an unexpected rise in the stock market. Next to a street sign showing "Broad" and "Wall" streets a wide-eyed bear rushes away from a tombstone dropping his shovel and exclaiming "Great Scott! He seems to be alive!" The tombstone reads "Mr. Bull / Fatally / Injured / in October / and November / 1929" and a dazed bull is pulling itself up out of the whole. The lower panel titled "When an Idealist runs up against a Realist" shows a puzzled Uncle Sam scratches his chin and reads a cable: "Cablegram / French Proposals / on Debt Moratorium / U.S. to Sacrifice $250000000 / Germany Gets the Benefit / on Only $150000000. / France Sacrifices / Nothing." To the right a sweaty little man gazes at a wall thermometer that's clearly rising pushing up his hat labeled "ADT" to mop his brow and exclaim "Whew!" Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. A delightful trio. unknown

McCUTCHEON, John T. (1870-1949)
Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Signed ink drawing 14¼" X 18½" n.p. n.d. ca. World War One. Very good. Slightest bit of edgewear and mild soiling. Labeled "They've Changed Their Tune" by McCutcheon along the lower margin this two-panel cartoon concerns the volatile German military situation. The upper panel labeled "Before the War" depicts a suited man labeled "German Socialists" at left presumably a politician addressing the legislature raising his arm and proclaiming "These war preparations must end!" Three military figures stand at right in the foreground clutching their fists and glaring angrily at the speaker. The leftmost of them labeled "Prussian Autocracy" grumbles "He's becoming a menace to us!" Next to him stands "Militarism" and "Hohenzollerns." The lower panel labeled "Now" shows the same "German Socialists" figure front and center foreground a scroll under his arm labeled "Peace Proposal to Russian Socialists" and a picket sign he clutches reading "This War Must End!" He stares angrily at the same three military figures at the right who now appear worried and apologetic holding their hats politely in their hands. "Prussian Autocracy" says to him "You are our hope" and Militarism" adds "--our salvation." At left stands a crowd of civilians labeled "German People" who reach out desperately and implore "We want peace!" Handsomely accomplished and typically provocative a fine example of McCutcheon's artistic prowess and delight in exposing hypocrisy. Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. unknown

McCUTCHEON, John T. (1870-1949)
Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Original signed ink drawing 14½" X 17½" n.p. n.d. ca. 1919. Very good. Slight edgewear and minor soiling. Labeled "He would Rather Explain than answer" in cursive by McCutcheon on the lower margin this handsome single panel piece depicts an angry-looking Uncle Sam in profile in the foreground poking the shorter man in front of him identified as "Cox" and demanding "Are you for Article X -- answer me Yes or No" The shorter fellow sweating responds "Let me explain." Uncle Sam points with his other hand at two large placards posted on a wall. The placard at left reads: "Elihu Root on Article X. Article X is an alliance to enforce perpetually through the operations of the League the decisions of Mr. Wilson and his associates in the year 1919. Article X is a throwback to the old discredited alliances of the past. Article X speaks a language of power and not the spirit of progress. Article X is an attempt to do what the Holy Alliance sought 100 years ago with just as noble expressions of purpose to impose by force the judgment of the rulers of the present generation upon all future generations." The placard at right reads: "Pres. Wilson on Article X. Article X is the heart of the covenant." Former senator and secretary of state Root at this time president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was well known as a strong supporter of the League of Nations -- BUT with strong reservations mainly about Article X which he thought highly impractical. Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. unknown

McCUTCHEON, John T. (1870-1949)
Signed Ink Drawing
Pulitzer prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the "Chicago Tribune" 1903-45. Signed ink drawing 14¼" X 17" n.p. n.y. Very good. Slightest bit of edgewear and mild soiling. Labeled "Look out for a flood of currency bills when Congress convenes" by McCutcheon along the lower margin this single-panel cartoon depicts a horde of twenty older gents -- smoky back room politicos no doubt -- hurrying from the right middle ground into the left foreground where a large finger-pointing shaped sign staked into the ground reads "To the Congress." Next to this sign stands a huddling child wrapped up from the cold and a seated dog observing the parade. The full-length figure in the lead likely represents a Western state representative wearing cowboy hat and bolo tie chomping a cigar and clutching a carpetbag in one hand and a rolled-up scroll labeled "Bill for Solution of the Currency" in the other. All of the other figures clutch similar rolls one identified as "Bill for Elastic Currency" and the others "Currency Bill." The other gents are obviously supposed to represent various types of politicians -- old-school types in top hats and formal dress Theodore Roosevelt types in more modern attire Buffalo Bill-type goateed old-timers etc. A fascinating and amusing commentary on the many currency reform measures that peppered Congressional debate in the early years of the 20th century. Signed simply "McCutcheon" at lower right as usual. unknown

Labeled "Cartoons of the Day" in cursive by McCutcheon on the lower margin this handsome three-panel piece contains three unrelated topics.

Untitled six-panel cartoon whose theme seems to be the improvement of cities. Each of the three left-side panels contrasts its right-side counterpart.

Horses sheep cattle and hogs not allowed within the city limits."

Signed original typescript 7pp 8" X 10½" Cleveland OH 30 July 1939. Very good. Faint age toning and two faint horizontal folds; staple hole at upper left well away from text; lacks page 5 of 8. Titled "Address by Hon. Paul V. McNutt / International Peace Day World's Poultry Congress / Cleveland Ohio Sunday July 30 1939" this double-spaced typescript contains McNutt's thoughts on the United State's pre-Pearl Harbor Day semi-isolationist attitudes towards peacekeeping in those tumultuous days. In part: "The United States is not responsible for international settlements outside the New World; and even less for the methods by which any nation chooses to govern itself. We do have an interest however first that other countries shall not attempt to force their political doctrines on us; second that in solving their difficulties they do not precipitate the world into a war which necessarily will affect the United States economically if indeed we can avoid being embroiled in actual military conflict." McNutt signs boldly and in full in black ink at the conclusion. Accompanied by a superb 9" X 7" black and white glossy news agency photograph International News Photos depicting McNutt at a formal banquet. Original mimeographed paper label affixed to verso captions this image "Xmas Party Manila 1938" and describes it as "President Eisenhower who was Gen. Douglas MacArthur's chief of staff in the Philippines from 1935-40 is shown at a Christmas party in 1938 with other American dignitaries. General then Major Eisenhower Mrs. MacArthur Paul McNutt High Commissioner of the Islands; Mrs. Eisenhower and Gen. MacArthur military advisor on the islands." Great image published here in 1955 showing McNutt as he appeared around the time he delivered this typescript speech. Most unusual in this format -- whether this is the actual typescript from which McNutt read this speech is not known but it is an actual typescript and not a mimeographed copy for press distribution. unknown

McPHATTER Clyde 1933 72
Autograph Letter Signed
This legendary R & B tenor hit the charts in the mid-50s with the Drifters and such hits as "Money Honey" "Such a Night" and "Honey Love" before going solo. ALS 1p 8½" X 11" New Rochelle NY 1958 January 2. Addressed to Donald. Very good. Yellowed tape stain at each corner and one 1¼" at each side.

McPHATTER, Clyde (1933-72)
Autograph Quotation Signed / Inscribed Photograph Signed
This legendary R & B tenor hit the charts in the mid-50s with the Drifters and such hits as "Money Honey" "Such a Night" and "Honey Love" before going solo. Two items: First an AQS 1p irregularly-trimmed roughly rectangular 8" X 4½" n.p. n.d. January 1958. Very good. Yellowed tape stain at each corner and two more small tape stains along right edge touching slightly upon a couple of words. Curious free verse poem or song lyrics -- whether to one of McPhatter's published songs is uncertain. "I want to walk in the shadow of your arms" it begins. "I want to live by the touch of your lips. I want to be in the River with you while the sea's calm I want to live and love I don't want to miss. I want to live with a love that's divine I want to be with you and give you all my love. I want to say that you are mine. I want to ask faith from the one above." Boldly signed at the conclusion. An unheard-of McPhatter rarity quite intriguing and exceedingly scarce -- and worthy of further research. Second an IPS 8" X 10" n.p. n.d. Very good. Faint yellow tape stain at each corner. Classy handsome half-length glossy portrait of a young smiling McPhatter in suit and tie inscribed large and bold in thick black marker at the upper right "To / 'Donald' / ALL the best / ALL the time! / Clyde McPhatter." Very choice and very scarce. McPhatter who suffered from alcoholism died of a heart attack at age 39 making his autograph material quite uncommon. unknown

MEANY, George (1894-1980)
Signed Postal Cover / Unsigned Photograph
American labor leader; AFL-CIO president 1955-79. Signed Postal Cover 6½" X 3½" cancelled in New York NY on 16 August 1973. Near fine. Single 3-cent "Labor Day" stamp and 8-cent flag stamp affixed. No decorative cachet at left; no distracting recipient's name/address. NOT a First Day Cover but a clever admirer had this envelope bearing an appropriate labor-related stamp cancelled in Meany's hometown New York City on his birthday August 16 -- which Meany then signs large and bold in purple fineline on the "sweet spot." Quite nice. Accompanied by a superb and scarce vintage glossy 9" X 7" news agency International News Photos photograph. Very good. Slight bit of edgewear. Candid half-length photograph of Meany standing alongside a smiling President Eisenhower. The original usually-absent mimeographed text printed on cheap acidic paper is still present dated 21 November 1952: "George Meany secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Labor right shown as he talked with President-elect Eisenhower at the general's Commodore Hotel headquarters today. Shortly after this conference news broke of the death today of William Green longtime president of the American Federation of Labor. Meany now looms large as possible candidate to succeed Green as head of the labor organization." An unusual signed cover and a choice desirable photograph. unknown
