Gluyas Williams

Gluyas Williams (July 23, 1888 – February 13, 1982) was an American cartoonist. He was born in San Francisco, California and graduated from Harvard in 1911.

His cartoons employed a clear black and white style and often dealt with prevailing themes of the day such as Prohibition. His work appeared in "Life", "Collier's", "Century", and "The New Yorker" magazines.

Published collections of his work include "The Gluyas Williams Book" (1929), "Fellow Citizens" (1940) and "The Gluyas Williams Gallery" (1957). He also illustrated books by Robert Benchley and "Father of the Bride" by Edward Streeter.
