New Exhibition of John Ryan's Cartoons launches at King's College London
Dr Alana Harris and Isabel Ryan, in conjunction with Library Services at King’s College London, are pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition featuring the works of cartoonist John Ryan, whose weekly cartoons in the Catholic Herald cast a satirical eye on the changes and challenges faced by British Catholicism in the 1960s.
To celebrate the launch of the exhibition, entitled Sink or Swim? Catholicism in Sixties Britain through John Ryan's cartoons, a private viewing was held on 16 January at the Maughan Library. Priscilla Ryan and Isabel Ryan, John Ryan’s wife and daughter, were in attendance, as well as representatives from the Catholic Herald, the Tablet and the Sunday Times.
Also on view are original artworks and a poster display of Captain Pugwash – Ahoy Me Hearties! to transport visitors into the world of John Ryan's Captain Pugwash books and TV films.
The exhibition is free to enter and runs from 17 January to 13 April 2019.
