This is the new updated version featuring president #46, Joe Biden!

You've seen other books about the POTUS... but never anything like this!

A Caricature History of the Presidents of the United States depicts a caricature portrait of all the presidents in the order they served office.




Inside the book you get:

A beautifully rendered caricature portrait of all 45 presidents from George Washington to Joe Biden. An overview of the historical events that took place during each administration. Fascinating personal information and statistics of every president. A special sneak peak inside the artist's studio with a step-by-step tour of how the caricatures in this book were created.

This book appeals to readers of all ages who are history buffs, art enthusiasts, political junkies, fans of caricature, or all of the above!




The 45 presidents are divided into 10 chapters. These chapters break down the historical periods that spanned each presidency:

The Founding Fathers The Jacksonian Era Manifest Destiny and a Nation Divided The Civil War and Reconstruction The Gilded Age The Progressive Era, WWI, and the Roaring 20s The Great Depression, WWII, and the Cold War The Vietnam War, Domestic Strife, and Return to Prosperity A New World Order COVID-19 and the 2020 Election

The reference for these portraits were all taken from paintings, drawings, etchings, photos, archived film footage, and video footage. Many sources were examined thoroughly before choosing the right portrait the artist felt depicted the unique quality of the person. Since these men were well known public figures most of their lives, many images exist showing them at different ages. The artist specifically chose portraits that depicted the president at the age he was during his presidency.




This book is the result of a personal project by author and illustrator Jason Fruchter to draw a caricature portrait of all 45 presidents of the United States. As he shared his caricatures with friends and family, it was suggested to him that he should put them all together in a book. This is the book!
