Cover illustration of a "Teddy" bear in a chef's garb marching in front of Washington's Headquarters at Valley Forge with a sign that reads "Look Inside and see what the daughters have cooked up." One of the best known political cartoonists of the twentieth century, Clifford K. Berryman, who worked for the Washington Post from 1891-1907, and then for the Evening Star (also in Washington) until his death in 1949. He won a Pulitzer Prize, and his 58 year career, plus the long career of his son Jim, who also drew cartoons for the Star, earned the family's large archive a place in the Smithsonian Institution. But a single cartoon published in the Washington Post in 1902 secured Berryman's immortal fame. In a 1902 cartoon, Berryman depicted President Theodore Roosevelt showing compassion for a small bear cub. The cartoon inspired New York store owner Morris Michtom to create a new toy and call it the "Teddy" bear. Even Roosevelt came to understand that this small, but unforgettable image of the "Teddy" bear would link him and Berryman forever -- the President inscribed a photographic portrait to Berryman ("and the bear" !) in 1904. Of course, Berryman would include his most famous creation in the cover he designed for the D.A.R. Featuring a collection of recipes by author Aileen Lewers Langston.
