195942835np: np 1959. Very good. An outstanding example of presumably amateur political protest art depicting the House Un-American Activities Committee as a rabid King Kong on the verge of seizing the helpless damsel Civil Liberties. 1959 was the Committee's 21st year of existence and it had by then become quite commonplace to condemn the HUAC's extremism so much so that President Truman in April of that year called the committee "the most un-American thing in the country today." Still it would take sixteen more years for HUAC to be officially abolished. We've been unable to trace the artist but he again we presume was clearly skilled striking just the right balance between cartoon and editorial styles. A vivid piece of vernacular propaganda from the early days of the HUAC's decline. Light-brown paper hand-drawn in felt-tip marker; 24" by 18" approx. Evidence of having been hung up at corners: small pieces of tape at upper edge; two chips at bottom; plus 2" tear at center of bottom edge. Shallow creases folded into eighths. Else clean if mildly toned. Very good. Signed by an artist "Vid" and dated in July 1959. np unknown

1950174161950. Jailed Until They "Talk." This broadside denounces the imprisonment of suspected Communists in Los Angeles during the McCarthy era. Los Angeles: Civil Rights Congress. Circa 1950. 12" x 8" inches. This pamphlet demands "The immediate dismissal of the witch-hunt grand jury! Immediate release on bail for those convicted of contempt! Dismissal of the frame-up contempt charges!" There was a real effort in the late 1940s and 50s to illegalize the Communist Party and other radical formations amid acute tensions between the US and USSR. This pamphlet alleges that U.S. Attorney General Tom Clark and the Truman administration devised a trick to detain suspected communists force them to inform on their allies and jail them indefinitely on the basis of "contempt" if they refused cooperation. They go on to say "If this trick works the Bill of Rights will have been thrown out of the window." "Los Angeles' latest victims of Tom Clark" were ten men who had recently been imprisoned on these grounds. This tactic was applied throughout the nation but is most recognized in the highly televised HUAC hearings of prominent celebrities who had left-leaning political affiliations. Overall in very good condition. unknown
