Samuel Cahan was born Kouno, Russia and emigrated to the United States with his parents at an early age. “His formal career as a newspaper artist began at the age of 12 when an editor of The World saw him outside Mouqin’s, a famed restaurant of the day, drawing the sinking of the Maine in colored chalk on the sidewalk.”(1)
The residence of the Cahan family was 5 Hester Street on the Lower East Side. They were poor, and it was not clear whether Cahan was drawing chalk (showing 500 of 3095 characters). |
