It's Nice To Have A Friend - 11x17 Newspaper Negative by Tom Engelhardt
'It's Nice to Have a Friend In the Lighthouse'
This is the original newspaper negative by political cartoonist Tom Engelhardt featuring the cartoon printed in The St. Louis Post-Dispatch on August 31, 1977. In the cartoon, a lighthouse is sitting on Maritime Lobby's campaign contribution rocks. It has Jimmy Carter's smile on it and it is shining a light onto the Oil cargo preference bill boat. Tow men are in the boat and one is commenting, 'It's nice to have a friend in the lighthouse.' This is a one of a kind item and the proceeds help benefit The State Historical Society of Missouri's Engelhardt Cartoon Collection.
