OSCAR BERGER CARICATURE SIGNED BY LYNDON B. JOHNSON

Signed caricature of Lyndon B. Johnson drawn from life by world-renowned caricaturist OSCAR BERGER (1901-1997). 11" x 15". Washington. No date. LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON (1908-1973). President of the United States. Johnson was the first candidate from a Southern state to be elected president of the United States for more than a century. He became president on November 22, 1963, hours after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Texas. In 1964 the largest popular majority in modern U.S. history elected Johnson to a full four-year term. His triumph represented a victory for the average voter in U.S. politics, with which Johnson, as a congressman, Senate leader, and vice president, had identified himself.
