Book Description

The two most important names in teddy bear history, President Theodore Roosevelt and cartoonist Clifford Berryman, are brought to light through the wealth of Teddy Bear collectibles and mementos. Commemorate the 100th anniversary of the teddy bear when Berryman's little bear appeared in his political cartoon about the border dispute between Mississippi and Louisiana. From that time on, this delightful little creature has been indelibly associated with President Theodore Roosevelt, and has captured the hearts of people worldwide. This is the complete story about the strong association of President Roosevelt and Clifford Berryman. Illustrated with many of Berryman's best and least known cartoons, it also includes numerous colour photographs (except for the vintage photographs). In addition, the illustrations include other collectibles associated with both of these men and the little bruin that endeared itself to the world. Illustrated with 250 photographs and illustrations, this important contribution to the history of the Teddy Bear and their collectibles is certain to be numbered among the few books on this subject.
