About this Item

- Cartoonist Daniel R. Fitzpatrick's autograph boldly penned across a 2-1/2 inch high by 3-1/2 inch wide card. A simple pen & ink stick figure sketch of a man's head and shoulders, with large ears, drawn by Fitzpatrick is penned at top left above the cartoonist's signature. Near fine with the original postmarked St. Louis Post-Dispatch envelope. The two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Daniel Robert Fitzpatrick (1891-1969) was an editorial cartoonist for the St. Louis Dispatch from 1913 to 1958. Sometimes controversial, Fitzpatrick and several other Post Dispatch staff members were cited with contempt of court and served sentences when they criticized the dismissal of an extortion suit against a State Representative. Fitzpatrick's cartoons have been exhibited at the St. Louis Art Museum, the Moscow Museum of Modern Western Painting, and the New York City's Associated American Artists Gallery. St. Louis' Washington University presented Fitzpatrick the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in 1949. Seller Inventory # 94934
