Marcus Edwin’s cartoon, entitled “Russia’s Dove of Peace,” depicts tank (typically used in war) drawn to look like a Dove (a common symbol of peace). This striking illustration puts the artist’s opinions front and center. Edwin’s opinion, which was shared by many at the time of the Cold War, communicates his feelings of skepticism towards the Soviet Unions’ propaganda on peace during the early years of the Cold War.
