Illustrating history

I found this piece on the late, great David Levine interesting, if only because the illustrators/cartoonists mentioned — his peers and followers — are the great left-liberal illustrators of our day, drawing for The Village Voice, The Nation, etc.

Levine was a great illustrator with a keen eye and his impact on the somewhat staid New York Review of Books cannot be underestimated. He will be missed.
