Period Paper is pleased to offer a collection of relief line block prints based upon the original political cartoons of Alois Derso. Spanning from the end of the First World War to the end of the Second World War, this collection captures prominent, yet at times deficient, politicians and military leaders. The caricatures are beautifully rendered in the fluid, yet bitingly abrasive style of all of DersoÕs work, capturing the essence of various personalities with an unflinching and sardonic wit. Produced immediately following the end of the Second World War by a witness to this history, each piece offers an opportunity to own a unique visual interpretation of this significant moment in world history.

This piece was illustrated by Derso and Kelen.
