    Artist: Boardman Robinson
    (1876-1952, Canadian-American artist, illustrator and cartoonist.
    In 1910, Robinson took a job on the staff of the New York Tribune drawing editorial cartoons, a position which he retained for four years. With the eruption of World War I in 1914, Robinson's increasingly radical anti-militarist political views brought him into conflict with his employer and he quit the publication.
