Confessions of a Caricaturist - 1917
5/28/2023 I love this book of caricatures by Oliver Herford. The images remind me of New Yorker cartoons. I made a collage of the various caricatures and put it together as a poster in the exhibit.

"Herford, regarded as the American Oscar Wilde, was known for his wit". His sister Beatrice Herford was also a humorist, delivering comic monologues on stage. Herford was a longtime member of the Players Club in New York City, where his wit became "one of the traditions of Gramercy Park." He married Margaret Regan, an Englishwoman, in New York on May 26, 1905. They made their home at 182 East 18th Street for about thirty years. Herford died on July 5, 1935, and his wife died the following December.Source: Wikipediakeyword: memorabilia, printsforsale, artarch
