“Men Arguing About Teddy Roosevelt”
from May 4, 1912
We don’t know much about artist Robert Robinson (1886-1952) and even less about the white-bearded models who posed for at least 15 of the illustrator’s 38 Saturday Evening Post covers. The delightful old geezers argued politics, drove like demons and tried to understand new-fangled things like biplanes and modern art. Enjoy!
