National Portrait Gallery - Herblock's Presidents

"The political cartoon is not a news story and not an oil portrait. It's essentially a means for poking fun, for puncturing pomposity."
                                                    —Herbert Block, 1977

The political cartoons of Herbert Block (1909–2001) appeared in American newspapers for more than seven decades under the pen name Herblock. This exhibition contains Block's original drawings of presidential cartoons from Franklin Roosevelt through Bill Clinton.
