Political cartoon depicting terrorism in Europe created by an American journalist
Object
Political cartoon depicting European terrorism as a giant, created by American journalist Albert E. Carter while writing for the Chattanooga Times Free Press in Tennessee, from 1930-1943. He often punctuated his articles with cartoons depicting global news and international leaders. Albert, a college senior, was working as a reporter for the Chattanooga Times when Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany in January 1933. During the mid-1930s, Germany followed a revisionist policy aimed at overcoming the restrictions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles (1919). These policy changes prompted foreign scholars, government officials, and reporters, like Albert, to make their way to Germany to document events. For much of 1934, Albert traveled around Germany by bike while recording his experiences. In 1936, Albert became the Sunday editor and foreign affairs columnist for the paper. Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union, and Japan frequently made international headlines in the second half of the 1930s, and all had leaders represented in Albert’s cartoons. Spurred by a growing interest in South America’s relationship to the US and events in Europe that led up to the war, Albert visited all the nations of South America as a reporter and researcher from 1940 into 1941. Albert returned to the US early in 1941, where he published “The Battle for South America” later that year. In 1943, Albert became a Foreign Service Officer serving in Central and South America for the U.S. State Department. In 1946, Albert married Dorothy Sharp Carter, an American school teacher, in Costa Rica. Dorothy and their four children accompanied Albert while he was posted at embassies throughout his career, including Uruguay, Panama, Paraguay, and Germany.
