The American political cartoonist Rollin Kirby (1875-1952), the first winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, worked at the New York Mail, New York World and the New York Post. This large drawing is a prescient view, exposing the abuse of the Jews by German Nazis seven months prior to Kristallnacht.
