This black-and-white caricature shows Jack Cummings with an oversized head, spotted helmet, knee pads, shorts, and roller skates. A speech bubble reads “JUST LIKE THAT!” while the printed and handwritten text names the subject, notes a February 16 birthday.
The lower inscription includes the artist name (Chas.) Charles R. Steindl and a copyright date of March 13, 1939. After he had emigrated to the U.S.A., Hungarian-born Charles R. Steindl first worked as a photographer. Later, in the 1930s, he wisely turned to the art of caricature, which brought him recognition.
