28 caricatures by internationally renown Ranan Lurie, from 1982 (Universal Press Syndicate and The Times, London)

Lurie's famous smiling sun can be found in each caricature.

Other than some small stains on a few of the cards, they are in very good condition.


Ranan R. Lurie (b. 1932) is an Israeli American political cartoonist and journalist, a senior associate at the CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies) since 1990,a member of the United Nation Correspondents Association, and founder and Editor-in-Chief of Cartoonews, a current events educational magazine.


Lurie's works have been published in LIFE magazine, Newsweek, Newsweek International, U.S. News and World Report, Time International, The London Times, Die Welt (Germany), Asahi Shimbun (Japan), Neue Zürcher Zeitung (Switzerland), among others. He is probably the only artist who has been invited simultaneously by both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party to hold a one-man show at the U.S. Senate.


Interesting facts:

Lurie appears twice in the Guinness Book of World Records beginning in 1999 as "the most widely syndicated political cartoonist in the world" and "as a member of the oldest traceable family in existence", which former Chief Rabbi Lau of Israeli and the Jerusalem Institute of Jewish Genealogy concluded that the Lurie family directly descends from the Royal House of the biblical King David, and can trace its genealogy back to the 10th Century, BC. The Lurie family tree includes the prophet Isaiah (8th century, BC), the Rashi (1040–1105), Hillel Hanasi "the Elder"; (30 BC-1st century AD), Felix Mendelssohn, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Salvador Luria, Yehudi Menuhin, Sir Immanuel Jakobovitz, and Ranan Lurie.


Lurie also has an impressive and fascinating Israeli combat history.  He resides in America (Connecticut and N.Y.C.) with his wife and their now grown children.
