cartoonist

As well as being a cartoonist, this Cuban bandleader also painted. See anonymousworks.blogspot.com/2009/10/circa-1930s-self-port... www.poplifeart.com/blog/2009/05/original-artwork-by-xavie... www.invaluable.com/catalog/searchLots.cfm?scp=m&artis... This looks to be a self-portrait.

Cougie was married to Abby Lane and then Charo (Coochie, Coochie!)

Eugene Zimmerman, cartoonist: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Zimmerman

I'm wondering if this really is the cartoonist, who is pictured at animationresources.org/?p=3843 Another Eugene Zimmerman died in December 1914, a railroad tycoon. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=21962006 NYT of December 21, 1914 reports on his sudden death query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0B14F83F5C13738...

The citizen., January 28, 1913, Page 8 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87078082/1913-01-28/ed-... shows what looks like the same guy and it clearly is the railroad magnate whose daughter married the Duke of Manchester and not the cartoonist who is the subject of the piece. And the New-York tribune., February 05, 1907, Page 14 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030214/1907-02-05/ed-... shows this guy with his daughter (the Duchess of Manchester) and grandchildren.

@ swanq Good research, I didn't look any further that the wikipedia article. That will need updating too.

We'll get help to delete the photo in Wikipedia, which is still displaying Dec. 10, 2011. A classic case of 'same name, different person.' Thanks for the clear visual confirmations, Swanq! -- Helena (LOC)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_E._Allender "Nina E. Allender (1873-1957) was an American artist, cartoonist, and women's rights activist." www.sewallbelmont.org/womenwecelebrate/nina-allender/ Nina Evans was born in Auburn, Kansas in 1872. In 1893, she married Charles Allender, who she divorced in 1905 after he deserted her, and she never remarried. She died in 1957 at the age of 85. "In 1914, [Alice] Paul persuaded Allender to draw cartoons for The Suffragist. While Allender’s hesitated, saying “she painted, and preferred to paint,” Paul convinced her to try the new format. Her political cartoons appeared regularly in The Suffragist (and its successor Equal Rights) until 1927. In 1915, in addition to her position as art editor for The Suffragist, Allender was also named Chairman of the D.C. Branch of the Congressional Union. By 1916, she was labeled the “Official Cartoonist” for the organization."

swanq and B-59: Thanks for the additional information Nina Allender. We will expand her catalog record to reflect more about her.
