    The Cartoons of Clifford Berryman

    The visual nature of political cartoons are unlike any other form of political commentary, and the creative license offered often captures unique historical perspectives. 

    Running for Office: Candidates, Campaigns, & the Cartoons of Clifford Berryman, an online exhibit from the National Archives, highlights pieces by renowned cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman, that illustrate the campaign process from the candidates’ decision to run for office to the ultimate outcome of the election.
