The Case of Sacco and Vanzetti in Cartoons from the
Daily Worker
Thanks to Dr. Marty Goodman of the The Riazanov Project
All 14 cartoons (the 16 pages of the pamphlet also include the front cover, which is graphic text only, and a page of introduction) in this 9 x 12 inch pamphlet / journal were drawn by Fred Ellis in 1927. Mostly in August, around the time of the (legal) murder of Sacco and Vanzetti. One cartoon is from July.
In Jospeh Freeman's introductory text in this pamphlet, it is noted that some of the cartoons appeared not only in the Daily Worker, but also in Labor Defender, Labor Herald, The Liberator, and The New Majority.
All cartoons listed, below are from 1927.
