Crown Prince Wilhelm
as Seen by
Cartoonist Gluyas Williams

No doubt created in response to the memoir of Crown Prince Wilhelm (1882-1951), which came out earlier that same year (the review is posted on this site), this cartoon was drawn by Gluyas Williams (1888-1982) a cartoonist who is largely remembered by current generations for his contributions to THE NEW YORKER as well as his illustrations for a series of books by humorist Robert Benchley. In 1910, Williams served as Editor of ‘The Harvard Lampoon’ and upon graduation a year later began a brilliant freelance career as a cartoonist for ‘The Century Magazine’, ‘Collier’s’ and ‘Judge’ among others.
