Cartoonist Mug Shots of 1911-12

Here are some wonderful newspaper promo ads featuring photos of some cartoonists rarely captured on film. The top ad appeared in the New York Tribune on November 13 1911. The second ran in the Salt Lake Telegram on February 22 1912.We have Charles Forbell, Harold MacGill, C.H. Wellington, Robert Carter, and even the really obscure D.C. Bartholomew who turns out to be a 'Donald'.

Thanks to Alex Jay for sending these to the Stripper!
