Description: Foreign Office copy of first installment of Norman Pett's Animal Farm comic strip.
In 1950 the Foreign Office commissioned a strip cartoon version of Animal Farm from the cartoonist Norman Pett and his writing partner Donald Freeman. Various embassies then encouraged overseas newspapers to publish the anti-communist strip. It was translated into a number of languages and also turned into a slide show for public performance.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it meets three requirements:

it was in the public domain in its home country on the URAA date (January 1, 1996 for most countries).
