Herblock prize reception with Steve Brodner via Bruce Guthrie's photos

Only the official Library of Congress photographer was allowed to take pictures of the ceremony, due to restrictions placed by Justice Breyer who gave an 'interview' while selling his book.

Steve Brodner first gave an excellent talk about Herblock's cartoons and his work - I'm sure he's a great lecturer at SVA, and hopefully that will be online someday.

Herblock Prize to be awarded tonight

in a private event at the Library of Congress.

Herblock Prize & Lecture

To commemorate Herb Block's legacy, the Foundation awards the annual Herblock Prize for excellence in editorial cartooning. The Foundation created the Herblock Prize in 2004 to encourage editorial cartooning as an essential tool for preserving the rights of the American people through freedom of speech and the right of expression. Presented each spring at the Library of Congress, the prize is awarded by The Herb Block Foundation for distinguished examples of editorial cartooning that exemplify the courageous standard set by Herblock and is judged by a panel of outside experts.

Although the judges for the Herblock Prize always had a finalist chosen for the award, the finalist was not announced until the year 2011. The finalist in 2011 was Ann Telnaes of The Washington Post for her portfolio of animated editorial cartoons. In 2012, The Herb Block Foundation announced that past, present, and future finalists of the Herblock Prize would receive a $5,000 after-tax award.

The winner receives a tax free $15,000 cash prize as well as a sterling silver Tiffany trophy.

As of May 2022, the Herblock Prize winner will now receive a tax free $20,000 cash award and the finalist will receive tax free $7,500 cash award.

 

Winners and finalists include:

1886 Grant Hamilton cartoon - The Economy of the Spigot and the Bung Hole

Here's a piece I rescued at a flea market this weekend. Grant Hamilton, "The Economy of the Spigot and the Bung Hole," Judge Magazine August 21, 1886.

It deals with the refusal by President Grover Cleveland to increase the pensions of Civil War widows through private bills (i.e. each person had her own bill in Congress) while pouring money into infrastructure products for harbors. IIRC, the government was largely funded via customs revenue and land sales, so harbor improvements make sense. The White House has a page on him.

Posted in memory of comics historian John Adcock and his Yesterday's Papers blog where a piece like this would usually have appeared.
