Confessions of a
Caricaturist



William Dean Howells

Not squirrels in the park alone
His love and winter-kindness own.
When Literary Fledglings try
Their wings, in first attempt to fly,
They flutter down to Franklin Square,
Where Howells in his " Easy Chair "
Like good Saint Francis scatters crumbs
Of Hope, to each small bird that comes.
And since Bread, cast upon the main.
Must to the giver come again,
I tender now, long overtime.
This humble Crumb of grateful rhyme.
(See Frontispiece)



Napoleon



I like to draw Napoleon best
Because one hand is in his vest,
The other hand behind his back.
