Description

“The Jumping Off Place” (April 28, 1945)
by Alexander (AW) Mackenzie (1895-1972)
12 x 15 in., ink on board

Mackenzie was a student of Van Dearing Perrine and attended the Art Students League about 1915. He started as a freelance cartoonist in 1941 and in May 1945, he attended the first United Nations Conference on International Organizations in San Francisco as a political cartoonist for the New York Post newspaper. His cartoons appeared daily on the editorial pages of the New York Post, Newsday and in the New York Daily.

The alternative title "This is it, Adolf!"

By the beginning of 1945, Allied victory in Europe was inevitable.

The crossing of the Rhine (March 23), the encirclement and reduction of the Ruhr (April 20), and the sweep to the Elbe–Mulde line (April 26, when the US joined up with the Soviets) all established the final campaign on the Western Front as a showcase for Western Allied superiority over the Germans in maneuver warfare.
