Editorial Cartoons of J.N. "Ding" Darling
Darling, Jay N. (Jay Norwood), 1876-1962
1900/1949
This collection celebrates the work of journalist and tireless advocate for preservation of the environment Jay N. "Ding" Darling (1876-1962). Twice awarded the Pulitzer Prize for syndicated editorial cartoons he drew almost daily between 1900 and 1949, in 1934-1935 he headed what is now the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, created the Federal Duck Stamp Program which has since restored thousands of acres of wet lands, and in 1936 founded the National Wildlife Federation. Eleven thousand cartoons are currently represented in this collection, which also features selected audio recordings of Darling’s dictation – a chance survival documenting his voice, vigor, and attitudes.
