19-1/8x24-1/8" sheet of paper has pen and ink original art for cartoon by Lucius Curtis "Lute" Pease Jr. (1869-1963), an American editorial cartoonist and journalist. He was cartoonist for the "Newark Evening News" from 1914 to 1954 and received the 1949 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning.

Upper left has hand-lettered sign featuring text from Woodrow Wilson's address at League to Enforce Peace banquet. Pease has signed at lower left. Back of sheet has preliminary pencil for different cartoon.
