Late 19th/Early-to-Mid 20th C cartoonists & illustrators

I have a keen interest in the work of these artists, particularly because the cultural slices of life depicted by the artist tell you more about the attitudes and mores of the times than a photograph or text could ever say. Of the cartoonists, Frederick Burr Opper (January 2, 1857 – August 28, 1937) is one of the greats. Opper's first cartoon was published in Wild Oats in 1876, followed by cartoons and illustrations in Scribner’s Monthly and St. Nicholas Magazine. He worked as illustrator at Frank Leslie's Weekly from 1877 to 1880. Opper was then hired to draw for Puck by publishers Joseph Keppler and Adolph Schwarzmann. Some in this gallery are from the Puck era, while others go through WWII.

There are 395 Pieces of Art In This Gallery.     1 through 18 shown.
