Absolutely stunning original artwork by William Gropper, from the 1940s. Titled “ Loyalist “, the drawing is crayon/ink on paper, professionally framed. Measures 10”x13.5”.

The artwork is an original used for the magazine publication “Morgen Freiheit”. The notes read “Rush Monday 3PM” and the dimensions he wanted it printed. Gropper was famous for his left leaning cartoons in multiple publications during and after the war. This is one of the nicest ones I have seen w/ amazing subject matter. For context:

“When the Jewish section of the American Communist Party founded the Morgen Freiheit in 1922, it was one of eleven daily Yiddish newspaper published in the United States. These papers covered a spectrum of political ideologies, from traditional to radical. The cartoonist William Gropper joined the staff of the Morgen Freiheit in 1925. His drawings commented, often with biting satire, on topics ranging from local politics to the activities of trade unionists to national and international affairs.”

Please refer to the photos I have posted. This is a rare piece and will be shipped with care.
