| Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Sunday, December 19, 1915. By Nelson Harding. From Newspapers.com and the Brooklyn Public Library. https://bklyn.newspapers.com/image/57516191/ |
The Junior Eagle section of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle has treasures of vintage poems, children's illustrations, comics and stories. While searching the text of the Christmas editions, I could not help but share this drawing from 1915. This was certainly on the Christmas wish list of many children of The Great War.
The art work is credited to a Nelson Harding (1879 - 1944) the Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. This cartoon could be seen an ancestor of his winning 1928 cartoon "May His Shadow Never Grow Less".
