Archives of American Art has digitized cartoonist Abril Lamarque's papers

From their newsletter:

Hispanic Heritage Month
National Hispanic Heritage month is September 15 through October 15. To celebrate, we are revisiting holdings that speak to the extensive contributions of Latinos to the history of American art.

Dive into the fully digitized papers of cartoonist, caricaturist, graphic designer, illustrator, and art director Abril Lamarque. Help transcribe (in Spanish) his beginner book on drawing caricatures; enjoy a letter from Yolanda López to scholar Tomás Ybarra-Frausto, in which she expresses that she looks forward to reading what he has written about "chicanos, the media, y 'zoot suit';" or enjoy digitized images of beautiful drawings from the collections of artists Emilio Sanchez and Naul Ojeda.
