Clifford K. Berryman Political Cartoon Collection
The Center for Legislative Archives maintains approximately 2,400 original pen-and-ink drawings by cartoonist Clifford K. Berryman from the U.S. Senate Collection.
Berryman was one of Washington's best-known and most-admired graphic political commentators in the first half of the 20th century. Berryman drew for the Washington Post from 1890 until 1907, and then for the Evening Star from 1907 until his death in 1949. His cartoons touched on a variety of subjects including politics, Presidential and congressional elections, both World Wars and even Washington weather.
