Title: Drawing the line in Mississippi
Creator(s): Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist
Date Created/Published: [1902 Nov. 16]
Summary: Photograph reproduces a newspaper cartoon in the Washington Post. The cartoon is a detail from a series called 'The Passing Show' about President Theodore Roosevelt's purported refusal to shoot a chained bear while on a hunting trip in Missississippi. The little bear, Bruin, became so popular that Berryman used him frequently in later cartoons on many different topics. Although Berryman helped popularize the association of Teddy Roosevelt with bears, he did not invent the toy teddy bear.
