The Caricatures of The Sporting News
Amadee Wohlschlaeger was an illustrator for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from 1932 until 1981 and sometimes illustrator for The Sporting News. Here is some of his work.
Many of you may not be familiar with his name, but if you read The Sporting News in the 1960's you will be quite familiar with his work.
