‘ “A Bird in the Hand is worth two in the Bush!” or, The Adventures of Jeremiah Oldpot’ was serialized in Yankee Notions (1852-1875), beginning in the very first issue in January 1852, and ran for eight installments until No. 12, December 1852. The artist is unknown.
The initials ‘V.P.’ can be seen under the first
panel of the first cartoon of the series, ‘Mr. Oldpot reads in the Herald of the
price of Tin in California,’ but these may have been the initials of the
engraving woodpecker rather than the artist.
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for all these.
