The political cartoons of the Daily Worker cartoonist 'Gabriel'

Jimmy Friell (1912 – 1997) worked under the pseudonym ‘Gabriel’ because he wanted to herald the end of Capitalism. This is the first exhibition of his work from the Communist Daily Worker and offers a wonderful insight into the attitudes of those on the Left during the Cold War from the late 1940s up until the late 1950s. Billed as "Fleet Street's greatest discovery since David Low", Friell started drawing for the Daily Worker in 1936 railing against the evils of Hitler and Mussolini. In 1956, disillusioned, he left the paper after his cartoon comparing the Russian tanks in Budapest to the Anglo-French invasion of Egypt was rejected. He walked out along with many of the Daily Worker’s editorial staff. "I couldn't conceive carrying on cartooning about the evils of capitalism and imperialism," Friell wrote, "and ignoring the acknowledged evils of Russian Communism."

The exhibition will consist of 60 of his best original political cartoons. The exhibition is being organised in association with the British Cartoon Archive and will be opened by the cartoonist’s brother Charles Friell.

The Political Cartoon Gallery, 32 Store Street, London WC1E 7BS, is open Monday to Friday 9.30am – 5.30pm and on Saturdays between 11.30am – 5.30pm. contact us for telephone etc.
