Content and Scope: John Fawcett (1909-1992), editorial cartoonist for the Providence Journal, had a unique insight into international, national and, especially, Rhode Island events of the 1960s and 1970s. Fawcett's talent was rewarded by frequent requests for his original artwork and by numerous awards, notably, from the National Conference of Christians and Jews for his fight against prejudice. The cartoons are arranged chronologically. (3,000)
