    Description

    This is a nice, original printing of The Chicago Record's History of the World's Fair, profusely illustrated by John T McCutcheon. Printed by the Chicago Daily News (as it was then called), 1893.
    John Tinney McCutcheon was an American newspaper political cartoonist, war correspondent, combat artist, and author who won a Pulitzer Prize for his 1931 editorial cartoon, "A Wise Economist Asks a Question," and became known even before his death as the "Dean of American Cartoonists." The Purdue University graduate moved to Chicago, Illinois, in 1890 to work as an artist and occasional writer for the Chicago Morning News (later named the News Record, the Chicago Record, and the Record-Herald). His first front-page cartoon appeared in 1895 and his first published political cartoon was published during the U. S. presidential campaign of 1896. McCutcheon introduced human interest themes to newspaper cartoons in 1902 and joined the staff of the Chicago Tribune in 1903, remaining there until his retirement in 1946. McCutcheon's cartoons appeared on the front page of the Tribune for forty years.
    Measures 6" x 8.5" and contains 256 pages.
    There is surface discoloration covers and spine. Binding and spine coming separated inside front end page (shown in pictures). Could be easily glued. Interior pages otherwise good, slight yellowing at edges. Stamp inside covers reads "RETURN TO THE LIBRARY OF THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS." Could very well be a one of a kind bound version of this publication.
