Item #110177 'Moods of de Fuhrer!' - original cartoon artwork by 'Armstrong'. Harold Barry ARMSTRONG.

'Moods of de Fuhrer!' - original cartoon artwork by 'Armstrong'

Pencil and ink on paper, recently hinge-mounted and matted (visible image size 400 × 500 mm); in excellent condition.

The prolific Australian cartoonist 'Armstrong' was active in many of the leading journals and newspapers from the 1920s to the late 1950s - 'The Bulletin', 'The Argus', 'The Sydney Sun', 'Smith's Weekly', 'Melbourne Punch', 'Aussie', 'The Herald', 'The Sun' - but he is perhaps best remembered for his output during the Second World War. This series of manic vignettes of Hitler is an excellent example of his penmanship and creativity; it has the added bonus of being perennially topical.
