THE WINSOR McCAY COLLECTION OF DOPE and PROHIBITION EDITORIAL CARTOONS done for the HEARST PRESS, 1920s-1930s
https://picasaweb.google.com/HarryLimeProductions/DopeChron?authkey=Gv1sRgCOGrxc_puaX5qwE
Of the Thousands of drawings that McCay had done for Hearst, appx 100+ relate to:
---The Murderous Fanatical Attempt to Enforce (Alcohol) Prohibition
---The Murderous Threat to Humanity posed by the use of DOPE, DRUGS, NARCOTICS
Indeed a Dilemma: Cursing and Ridiculing Governmental Attempts to Legislate Human Morality via Failed ALCOHOL PROHIBITION Enforcement,
and Cursing and Ridiculing the LACK of Governmental Attempts to Legislate Human Morality via the LACK of DOPE PROHIBITION Enforcement.
The 35 sample Winsor McCay examples of Surreal Allegorical DOPE Demons and Fanatical DRY KILLERS, depicted below, are outstanding examples of his prodigious talent. He had done appx 100-130 Editorial Cartoons in reference to the topics of DOPE and PROHIBITION.
We have them all.
Along with another 2000+ newspaper pages (on microfilm), from appx 10 Metropolitan Daily Newspapers, relating to THE DOPE CHRONICLES.
This is the collection that is for sale:
THE DOPE CHRONICLES 2200 Microfilm Pages: Dope, Drugs, Prohibition, Hysteria
Stinging Indictment of Prohibition Covering an Entire Century
THE DOPE CHRONICLES: 1850-1950, published by Harper & Row, had documented the hysteria, the hypocrisy, and ultimately the failure by the government to enforce a policy of Prohibition.
The original source materials for THE DOPE CHRONICLES had been taken from runs of a dozen Major Metropolitan Daily Newspapers, 1850-1950.
1) The material was hilarious: Screaming Headlines, Lurid Addict Stories, Sob Sisters, Allegorical Editorial Cartoons, Fantastic Graphics, Dope Movies, Busts, Politics, Crime. . ...Corruption. . ...
2) The irony was legendary: During the Roaring Twenties, the nation had been rallied by the Popular Press both AGAINST Alcohol Prohibition, but also IN FAVOR of Dope Prohibition. Propagandists, Lobbyists, and Spin Doctors were weaving their fantastic tales on the Editorial Pages.
3) And the outcome was tragic: Tens of thousands of deaths were credited to the hysterical and hypocritical attempts at legislating Public Morality.
The book (THE DOPE CHRONICLES: 1850-1950) is now out of print. But the original Source Materials remain: a MICROFILM COLLECTION of 2200 newspaper pages, culled from runs of appx a dozen Major Metropolitan Daily Newspapers, 1850-1950.
(Less than 25% of the newspaper collection had been used for the book.)
The newspaper pages relate to the topics of Dope, Drugs, Prohibition, Hysteria, and the ambient culture from each decade.
The microfilm collection, as a collective work, makes a powerful statement about the excesses of Governmental Prohibition.
It is filled with myriad photos, illustrations and graphics---surrealistically depicting the Demons which were preying upon Society.
The great number of Winsor McCay Editorial Cartoons (allegories of prohibition, dry killers, dope dealers, surreal hysteria, etc.) would make up yet another fabulous Graphic Novel.
The MICROFILM COLLECTION of 2200 newspaper pages is for sale.
