Cartoon America and its accompanying brochure are funded through the generous support of the Caroline and Erwin Swann Memorial Foundation for Caricature and Cartoon. The Art Wood Collection of Cartoon and Caricature came to the Library through a gift-purchase agreement made possible in part by a generous contribution from H. Fred Krimendahl II, a member of the Library’s Madison Council and the generosity of James Arthur Wood, Jr., who has continued to enhance the collection with annual gifts. The companion volume to the exhibition, also entitled Cartoon America: Comic Art in the Library of Congress (Abrams, 2006) features an essay by Art Wood that highlights his collection as well as the wealth of related Library holdings.
