Cartoons of Welsh Cartoonist Illingworth Are Online In New Site

A collection of over 4,500 cartoons by the Welsh cartoonist Leslie Illingworth (1902-1979) are now available in a new Web site from the National Library of Wales. The English version of the site is available at http://www.llgc.org.uk/illingworth/index_s.htm .

The site leads with a biography of Illingworth and links to a searchable database. Cartoons may be searched basically by keyword. A search for Churchill found 247 results. The results list contains a description, date and checkbox for each result. Tick the checkboxes in which you're interested and click the details button. You'll get a huge page of information about the cartoon, with the cartoon itself in a little graphic at the bottom--! You can just click on the graphic for a larger version, however.
