London, The Cresset Press, (May 1941). Album in-8° oblungo (14 x 22), di pp.(14) e 70 tavole impresse fronte retro. Leg. mezza tela editoriale con titolo e vignetta al piatto anteriore, titolo al dorso. Buon es. (12167) Raccolta (datata nella prefazione "May 1941") delle celebri caricature di Sir David Alexander Cecil Low (1891-1963), apparse per la maggior parte nel periodico "Evening Standard", nel periodo che va dal 20 settembre 1939 al 31 marzo 1941. Esse si aprono con una sorta di balletto tra Hitler e Stalin all'epoca del patto germano-sovietico, e giungendo fino ai primi mesi del 1941, raffigurano satiricamente l'alleanza tra Germania, Italia e Giappone con raffigurazioni efficaci che "fecero epoca" come la ricorrente caricatura di Mussolini, e il tipico volto di Churchill. Tra i personaggi minori compaiono poi Pétain, Laval, Franco e perfino Gandhi. L'ultima parte, dal titolo "Home Front", è dedicata al fronte interno, ovvero al comportamento degli Inglesi in guerra sul fronte interno. Nella sua prefazione Low espone anche le sue considerazioni politiche non banali, in cui distingue tra il pacifismo costruttivo e quello imbelle e rinunciatario.…
