LOVELL, Maine — The Lovell Historical Society will be presenting a retrospective of the work of Sam Ring, a well-known local cartoonist, artist and social commentator. The exhibit will open Sunday, June 27, and remain on view for the month of July.

Born and raised in Lovell, Sam’s keen eye has seen the world through his own lens. Early on, he was influenced by family books as well as periodicals that accumulated in the Lovell Post Office, located in the Rings' home on Main Street in Lovell Village. The advent of television also opened up a whole new world of images and ideas for Sam.
