Charles Twelvetrees

Charles Twelvetrees (1872/88 - 1948) was active/lived in New York.  Charles Twelvetrees is known for Chubby-cheeked child figure postcard illustrations, whimsy, humor, commercial art.

Charles H. Twelvetrees is well-known to vintage postcard, and ephemera collectors in general for his many illustrations, mainly of chubby-cheeked children, which often are shown with funny captions. I put up the two examples that I have from postcards below (cropped and cleaned up a little in Photoshop.)

His work can also be found on magazine covers, in newspapers, on calendars, and as valentines of that era. To mention a couple of particular examples, he was the illustrator for a children’s story by Seymour Eaton, called Prince Domino and ‘Muffles,’  and he did a comic strip called Johnny Quack and the Van Cluck Twins. (Some accounts say Van Cluck Sisters which, unless the strip name was changed at some point, is incorrect. Images can be found online of the comic strip showing the last word in the title as “Twins” not “Sisters.”) It’s also interesting to note that the 1900 Federal Census shows Charles’ occupation as “portrait artist.”
