PDF Text of the PBS special

The title of the program is Arthur Szyk's Earliest Cartoons.
A Polish-American art collector in Southern California came across four striking drawings while browsing an online auction. He believes they bear a remarkable resemblance to the work of one of America's most influential political cartoonists, Arthur Szyk. HISTORY DETECTIVES investigates whether these drawings are some of the earliest known works of the man whose illustrations helped/persuade America to fight the Nazis in World War II and whom Eleanor Roosevelt described as "a one-man army against Hitler."
