Daniel Robert Fitzpatrick (1891 - 1969) was a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and an editorial cartoonist for the St. Louis Dispatch from 1913 to 1958. During the 1930s, Fitzpatrick was one of the first American cartoonists to warn of the dangers of Fascism in Europe. Stephen Hess argued that Fitzpatrick played a significant role in changing American public opinion on Nazi Germany: "Fitzpatrick, one of the masters in the use of symbolism, transformed Nazi Germany's swastika into a horrific death machine. As Hitler's armies marched across Europe, he used his symbol repeatedly to challenge America to rethink their isolationist stand and enter the war against Germany. H Signed Political Cartoon, "Fitzpatrick", 17-1/2 x 20 original editorial cartoon on artboard captioned "The New Brannan Two-Way Job." depicts farmer harvesting grain. He is emptying grain into two bags: Farm Subsidy and Lower Consumer Prices. Art is also inscribed "For Secretary Brannan, D.R. Fitzpatrick." Minor wear, very good condition.
