Jim Berryman (American, 1902-1971) ...And One Man!, Washington D.C. Evening Star newspaper cartoon, July 29, 1943 India ink and lithographic crayon on textured heavyweight paper 12 x 12-1x2 inches (30.5 x 31.8 cm) (image) Signed lower right: Jim Berryman Washington, D.C. 'Evening Star Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper sports and editorial cartoonist James Thomas Berryman created this original editorial cartoon; it was published in the Washington D.C. Evening Star and newspapers around the country on July 29, 1943. President Franklin D. Roosevelt employed the theme "it's all one front" to unify the American home and the military fronts during World War II. Displaying American industry, soldiers, and fighting equipment on the attack, and the President at the microphone, it completely embraces the idea of a united effort to defeat Germany, Italy, and Japan. Berryman's title ...And One Man expresses what Americans knew to be true in 1943: the President was the indispensable man in this perilous period for the nation and the world. Jim Berryman joined the Washington, D.C. Evening Star in 1924, by 1931 he was an editorial illustrator, and by 1934 a sports cartoonist. Later in the 1930s, his work appeared in magazines, and by 1941 his political cartoons were added to the Star editorial page. His work was syndicated to newspapers across the United States, and he was awarded the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. The artist inscribed this original "Regards -------- from" near his signature. The original recipient's name has been scratched out.
