Byrne National Political Cartoon Collection
An expansive 528 volume set of scrapbooks, the National Political Cartoon Collection records American life and foreign policy through newspaper editorial cartoons from 1926 to 1979. Clipped daily from multiple newspapers published in the tri-state area and nearby large cities, John Byrne created a unique window through which to learn about American attitudes regarding a wide range of events, ideas and people. The scrap-booker started his collection on 22 March 1926 during his last year at Loras College, maintained it through getting his masters, army service from 1942-45, and becoming a teacher. He worked as a civics/government teacher at East Alton Junior High School in Illinois.America Divided in the 1970s, Selections from the National Political Cartoon Collection
