Description“Noah Chamberlain See a Dove” (September 30, 1938)by Charles (Chuck) Werner (1909-1997) 14 x 16 in., ink and crayon on textured paper Charles (Chuck) Werner won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1939 for a cartoon he did for the Daily Oklahoman titled “Nomination for 1938” which allowed for the transfer of the Sudetenland to Hitler's Germany (October 6, 1938). At age 29, Werner was the youngest person to win the Pulitzer. Werner left the Daily Oklahoman to be the Chief Editorial Cartoonist at the Chicago Sun in 1941 before leaving for the Indianapolis Star in 1947. Throughout his nearly sixty-year career, many U.S. Presidents expressed interest in Werner's cartoons, including Lyndon B. Johnson and Harry Truman requesting cartoons for their presidential libraries. The world is armed for war on a rocky sea, and here is a reference to the delusion of appeasement around the “peace in our time” speech given by Chamberlain at the Heston Airport (September 30, 1938), just as the invasion of Czechoslovakia tipped the scales towards the historical start of WW2, a year later, with the invasion of Poland.
