Title: Winsor McCay -- A Tale of the Jungle Imps by Felix Fiddle

URL: http://cartoons.osu.edu/digital_albums/winsormccay/

Description: This website contains the digital album for Winsor McCay -- A Tale of the Jungle Imps by Felix Fiddle. Until January 2006 none of the original drawings created by McCay had been seen for more than a century. The Ohio State University Cartoon Research Library acquired five of the original hand-colored drawings which comprise this digital album. Unlike other extant examples of McCay's original comic strips, A Tale of the Jungle Imps by Felix Fiddle are hand-colored. Although the reason McCay painted them is unknown, it may be that since this was his first effort at a comic strip, he was unsure how engravers might follow his color instructions and wanted to be sure that his preferences were clear.

Title: Alternate Views: Perspectives on the American Civil War

URL: https://cartoons.osu.edu/digital_exhibits/alternateviews/

Description: The 150th anniversary on the American Civil War is commemorated in this exhibition, which highlights the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum’s growing collection of nineteenth century prints. Editorial cartoons were not published in newspapers until after the Civil War, when technology made it possible to publish them in a timely way economically. Prior to that, broadsheet prints -- etchings, engravings and lithographs -- were the means cartoonists used for political commentary. Popular magazines, such as Harper’s Weekly, relied on wood engravings to provide graphic content. The complexity of many of the works displayed here is striking. Intricate visual metaphors demand close reading in order to comprehend the meaning of the cartoon. These images were produced when the pace of life was much different. Prints such as these were intended to be read, reread, and then, perhaps, read again. When we step back in time to consider these images, their messages are clear, passions are heated, and a complex period in the history of the United States is revealed.
