Bert Cobb was an early 20th-century U.S. illustrator, caricaturist, painter and cartoonist. He was best-known for his many etchings of winners of dog shows in the 1920s and 1930s. Earlier in his career, he was also a notable illustrator of covers for sheet music collections. As a cartoonist, his most memorable work is 'Ambitious Teddy' (1907-1908), a gag comic gradually evolving into a fantasy series. Cobb also drew shorter-lived series like 'Jocko the Educated Monk' (1901), 'Some Monkey Fun From Jungle Jinks' (1901), 'Stumble-Toe Joe' (1907) and 'Meddlesome Millie' (1911). Because of his portrait cartoons of business and professional celebrities, appearing in about sixty newspapers, he has been nicknamed the "Dean of American Caricaturists".

The pages are in good condition, although wrinkles, tears, flaking and missing pieces may occur.
