Collectors Archive: Lenox Library Collection

We dug way back for this edition of Collectors Archive; all the way back to 1904! It is from The New York Times. It is regarding the creation of a grand collection of political cartoons and memorabilia from the early days of political campaigns to the modern (1904 remember) times. Makes you wonder if the collection is still in intact after 109 years.

Andrew Jackson Political Cartoon. Found on Google Image Search

 

OLD POLITICAL CARTOONS.

Lenox Library Collection Begins with Jackson in 1824.

Some of the most interesting and bitter campaign literature in New York just now has nothing nothing whatever to do with this election. Some of the most caustic cartoons have no reference whatever to Roosevelt, Parker, Herrick, or Higgins. A visit to the Lenox Library is necessary to see them, and for students of political history the time is profitably spent.
