Clifford Berryman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist with The Washington Star and The Washington Post, produced almost daily cartoons for over 50 years \u2013 from 1896 to 1949.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Unlike any other form of political commentary, cartoons show altered physical traits and highlight minute details to make a specific point. With simple pen strokes, they foreshadow the future, poke fun at the past, and imply hidden motives in ways that elude written or spoken reporting. This unique exhibit features a series of pen &amp; ink drawings to highlight the timeless aspects of US campaigns and election processes. Running for Office was created by the National Archives with the support of the Foundation for the National Archives and organized for travel by <b>Humanities Texas, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>This exhibit is part of Connecticut\u2019s Old State House \u201cGo Big.
