McNamara, John Joseph, 1918-2001:[One original cartoon and a collection of newsprint clippings of portraits of sporting and political personalities published in the Southern Cross ca 1940-1959.]

Political cartoons from the end of the ministry of Peter Fraser, the lead up to the 1949 election (in which he was defeated by Sidney Holland), and the first year of Holland's ministry. These cartoons mainly address Holland's link to the British conservatives (which McNamara had a very negative view of), and cuts he made to wages, pensions and allowances when he came into power. Other cartoons relate the post-war political situation in Britain and the United State's aid of the country. Some illustrations of animals are also included.

Quantity: 17 newsclippings.
