About this title

Synopsis:

The editorial cartoons of Jay N. "Ding" Darling illustrated what he believed were the important topics of society and politics whether or not they were considered newsworthy by others. The 150 political cartoons selected for Iconoclast in Ink chronicle the personalities and events of the first half of the twentieth century. Pulitzer Prize-winner Darling was also an ardent proponent of conservation, known for speaking, writing, and drawing cartoons about the issue. Darling later founded the National Wildlife Federation.
