Becky -

The almost total absence of images on the web suggest that perhaps someone has asserted a copyright claim on most of his works, or that they're in someone's private collection. There is a fair "name presence," but almost no images.

Do you maybe have cousins who might have info and/or work that got handed down? It can be "a long row to hoe" but a bit of genealogical searching might turn up distant family with a whole lot of helpful info - (or maybe just descendants with a lot of fanciful imaginary tales to tell).

I found one archive listing that indicates they have 47 cartoons he did for "Punch" magazine, apparently all political, but they're "in a folder" and you have to visit the library to see them. A separate listing indicates another library has a few, again nearly all political, from his (longer?) time with "Puck" magazine; and he apparently started and published briefly a mag called "Chic." All these publications are defunct, and probably any works that remain will have passed either to (his?) descendants or to (university?) archive collections.

The reference up above somewhere to his "specializing in childrens art" in his teaching would of course be the most direct connection to folklore; although if there was a demand for old political slogans some of his cartoon titles would have made great punch-lines for some of the earliest activists - or for their granddaddies.
