Scattered light creasing, otherwise, in good condition.(1888-1977) Clarence Daniel Batchelor was better known as C. D. Batchelor. He was an American editorial cartoonist who was also noted for painting and sculpture. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1937.From 1914 to 1918 he worked as a freelance artist, returning to newspapers in 1923 when he worked as a cartoonist in the New York Post for the Ledger Syndicate until 1931. He then found his permanent niche at the New York Daily News, where he worked until 1969. Batchelor's most famous editorial, published in 1936, reflected the newspaper's isolationist stance and won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning. It depicted a prototypical "Any European Youth" greeted by a skull-faced harlot representing War, captioned "Come on in, I'll treat you right, I used to know your Daddy." Sympathetic to women's suffrage, he contributed cartoons to Woman's Journal and The Woman Voter. He also contributed his art to the causes of public health and public safety.Batchelor is also known for having executed a bronze bust of Joseph Medill Patterson, the founder of the Daily News and co-founder of Liberty magazine, and a series of oil murals in The News Building.This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022.
