McKinley cartoons

I've had a lot of fun going through our collection of McKinley political cartoons in preparation for our next Keller Gallery exhibition Campaigns & Cartoons.  Lots of interesting commentary on the Spanish-American War.

We will be supplementing this traveling show from the Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site with campaign items from our own collection.  It's going to be a fantastic exhibit!

This is one of the cartoons that I have incorporated into the exhibit panels about McKinley (dated March 6, 1901):

INAUGURAL BALL, MARCH 4th, 1901 — ENGAGED FOR ANOTHER DANCE
