DescriptionStunning and huge (45,5cm x 59cm) inked illustration by the one and only Walt Kelly. Kelly is mostly known for his most famous creation, Pogo, but was also a quite prolific political cartoonist. While he tackled political topics with Pogo, he could bring it to full swing with his editorial cartoons...only very few of these still exist today...This magnificent example, which was published in Life magazine May 12th 1952, accompanied the famous political article „A Policy of Boldness“ by former Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. If one had to summarize the cartoon in one sentence...the communists, led by Stalin, under the pretense of peace are leading the free countries (including the US) to their doom (or into communism themselves). Many prominent politicians of the time can be seen...the following I was able to pinpoint with the help of Wikipedia: - Lower left with „Iran“ writing over him: Mohammad Mosaddegh (1882 – 1967) was the 35th prime minister of Iran, holding office from 1951 until 1953, when his government was overthrown in a coup d'état orchestrated by the United States' Central Intelligence Agency and the United Kingdom's MI6.
