Christmas Waifs 2
We return with another Michael Woolf cartoon, this time scanned from his 1896-published collection, 99 “Woolf’s” from Truth (reprinting comics that had appeared first in the weekly Truth magazine). Woolf, whose cartoons began appearing in the 1850′s, is remembered best for his sympathetic depictions of New York City’s slum-children.
