Cartoonist
Rea Irvin

Cartoonist Rea Irvin (1881 – 1972) did the work of ten George Creels during America’s participation in the Great War by consistently producing a number of funny gags that served to belittle Imperial Germany. Unlike most cartoonists who were active during the Gilded Age, Irvin has been published at least once a year every year since 1925: he was the creator of ‘Eustice Tilly’ -the Regency dandy who graced the very first cover of The New Yorker that is re-printed every February. Other cartoons in this series are available upon request.
