Description: The years 1915 to 1945 represented a period of transition for Canada, as Britain's power and influence over her former colony declined and Canada's independence and ties to the United States increased. This transition, and the events and issues of the war-interwar-war years, were captured in a unique and often controversial way by some of Canada's finest cartoonists. Their work provides an intriguing glimpse into Canadian history and a frequent reminder that some things never change. Reviews: "Few artifacts capture a moment of national drama or debate like a newspaper cartoon. And few countries can ever have been as torn between pride in its accomplishments and existential fretting over its own worth as the young Dominion of Canada was between the First and Second World Wars. That's the clear message of the 365 illustrations in Charles and Cynthia Hou's absorbing Great Canadian Political Cartoons 1915 to 1945." - Macleans, November 2002 " . . . a great snapshot of a critical period in Canada's history, when the country faced two world wars and a devastating depression." - Globe and Mail, December 2002
