An amazing document of Erich Sokol's "American Natives."
"American Natives" published in 1961 was Sokol's first book of drawings: 64 full-page black & white cartoons ... scathing portraits of American "types" much closer in style to his European editorial cartoons.
This archival collection appeared on the occasion of the exhibition "Erich Sokol: Gnadenlos genial" ("Erich Sokol: Mercilessly brilliant") at the Karikaturmuseum Krems (Krems Caricature Museum). It reproduces all the cartoons--plus 15 more that did not make the final book--from the original art, along with color photos taken by Sokol during his trip across the United States. A 50-page introduction is illustrated with 49 cartoons, photos and documents.
"American Natives" is in English. The rest of the text is in German.
The typeset text is easily translated using the Google Translate app and the camera on your phone or tablet.
