Okay so yesterday at the drawing center I saw this drawing. I documented it using my phone only and while doing so my phone crashed, so an information on the artist I had I lost. I have searched extensively for the artist and cannot find it, so I apologize. I will continue searching and in the future post the information along with additional images! For now all I know is that he was born in 1825. However that’s not what is important to this post. What is important is that this was a great realization for me. Being an artist that illustrates in a “cartoon” manner I always wondered why this style hadn’t been utilized in the past, seeing ad how it has only recently become popular. I had come to the assumption that the ability or idea had not just come to us yet. This piece and the others showed me that this has been a method used by artists. It was great to feel a deeper connection to the history of my chosen artistic style. I will continue to search for him or if anyone can decipher the handwriting at the bottom please let me know. -Kam
