Biography
Frank A. Chapman was born on November 18, 1909. He was an avid collector of political and popular cartoons, amassing
materials that ranged from 1913-1984 covering numerous topics including presidential administrations, political and
popular culture, social issues, sports, and foreign leaders. Frank Chapman died in September 1985 and was survived by his
son Arnold Chapman who generously donated his father's collection to the UCLA Library.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of newspaper clippings amassed by Frank A. Chapman, the majority of cartoons consisting primarily
of images from the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Herald-Examiner ranging from 1913-1984. Mr. Chapman collected
editorial cartoons covering numerous topics such as the presidential administrations of Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy
Carter, and Ronald Reagan. The collection also contains cartoons on a wide-range of political and social issues including
school busing, the arms race, nuclear technology, the environment, the Moscow Olympics boycott, foreign leaders, and
popular culture.
The collection includes the work of artists such as Jim Borgman, Paul Conrad, John Fischetti, Karl (Carl) Hubenthal,
Interlandi, Herbert "Herblock" Block, Guernsey LePelley, Jeff MacNelly, William "Bill" Mauldin, Patrick Oliphant, Steve Sack,
Bill Schorr, Doug Sneyd, Wayne Stayskal, and others, several having won Pulitzer Prizes for their work. Paul Conrad, one of
the artists whose work is featured in this collection, was a victim of Richard Nixon's famous "enemy" lists and Conrad's
cartoons may have led to his being audited by the IRS four years in a row.
One of the more historical aspects of the collection is a cartoon panel series by Charles H. Wellington entitled "And the
Worst is Yet to Come" dating from 1913-1916. The collection also contains a sprinkling of newspaper articles and popular
comic strips.
