Charles G. Bush, the cartoonist of the New York World, is an example
of success achieved comparatively late in life. His early work
consisted for the most part of magazine illustrations of a serious
nature. After studying in Paris, under Bonnat, he, on his return to
America, endeavored to follow a career of painting, but fate willed it
otherwise. In 1895 Mr. Bush drew a cartoon in which David B. Hill was
the principal figure. The New York Herald accepted the picture, and the
next morning Mr. Bush woke up to find himself famous as a cartoonist.
From thence on his career has been one of more or less constant
successes.
