So here's a bit about the artist: Frank Hanley (December 22, 1895 - 198?) was an American artist and cartoonist active in New York during the first half of the 20th century. Hanley was born in New York City, New York. In 1917, he was working as a commercial designer for Gotham Studios when he was drafted to fight World War I. Hanley's work exhibits a distinct Art Deco ethic. Throughout the 1930s he was a popular cover artist and illustrator for Judge Magazine, a satirical monthly. He also illustrated for The New Yorker, Manhattan: A Weekly for Wakeful New Yorkers, and Trainman News. It is unclear when he died, but his is reported to have been in his 90s, suggesting sometime between 1981 and 1994.
