The New Masses was ever eager to deflate the pretensions of aristocracy. On the other hand, the Marxist publication was presumably silent on the killings and other abuses committed by Joseph Stalin. A cartoon from 1938 by Mischa Richter follows the Marxist's magazine's predilection for criticizing all things czarist while throwing in a rebuff of Franco for good measure. The artist quietly asserts his left-wing credentials by unobtrusively appending his union membership to the signature.
