How Political Cartoonists Saw Winston Churchill

London’s Imperial War Museum opened an exhibit examining how political cartoonist around the world.

From Smithsonian Magazine’s website:

The free exhibition features 24 original cartoons that span Churchill’s entire career in the public eye, from his early days as a politician—the oldest cartoon on display is from 1909—to his two terms as prime minister in the 1940s and 1950s. A number of contemporary cartoons that compare Churchill to modern-day politicians are also on display.

While the exhibit features 24 cartoons, I could only find the names of four of the cartoonists: Leslie Illingworth, David Low, Ernest “EH” Shepard and Conrado Massaguer.

Exhibit runs through February 23, 2025.
