Francis W. Dahl Editorial Cartoons - Patrick McGinnis &
NHRR
Patrick McGinnis was president of the New Haven Railroad and
the Boston & Maine Railroad from 1954 to 1956. McGinnis' many
ideas for change made him a subject of controversy. He was frequently
the target of Francis W. Dahl's sharp pen. Dahl, Boston's cartoonist
laureate, worked for many years for the Boston Herald Traveler.
We are offering ten signed original pen and ink cartoons on board.
They measure approximately 17" wide x 11.5" high.
