What Makes This Historic Cartoons Box Set Uncommon

Drawing on History

History books give us only part of the picture. Since the founding of our country, creative minds have captured—and commented—on significant events through the art of cartoons. Thanks to artist and historian Ari Siegel, America's most revolutionary, controversial, and hilarious cartoons are gathered in this 50-card bamboo gift box. Images from the colonial period to the civil rights era are reproduced in their original colors on high-quality card stock. The reverse side features a description and explanation of the cartoon's context. Or choose the WWII-era expansion pack, which features 25 illustrations and posters that convey a sense of urgency, discipline, and patriotism through art. Shuffling through 200 years of American politics, foreign relations, and science has never been more intriguing. Made in Illinois.

Ari Siegel

Ari Siegel has always loved how history comes alive when you approach it right. He grew up listening to stories from his WWII-veteran grandfathers, went on to work at the US Capitol, where he gave tours to guests, then gained an even deeper appreciation when he started checking out historical documents at the Library of Congress archives. With History by Mail, he hopes to share the excitement of holding something meaningful about our nation's past in your own hands.
