Информацию о художнике нашла здесь
Samuel Zagat was born in 1887 to Isaac and Mary Aronoff Zagat in Sebesh, a Lithuanian village near Vitebsk.Mary and the children followed Isaac to America in 1893.
In 1900 Sam lived in Brooklyn with his widowed mother Mary, his older brother Isidore, and his younger sisters Sarah and Minnie.
His wife Ida Roji (Rojansky) Zagat published a book of his illustrations and comics in 1972, Samuel Zagat: Drawings and Paintings: Jewish Life on New York's Lower East Side 1912-1962.
I got a used copy from the Strand Bookstore.
Ida wrote that Sam's formal education ended with elementary school because he and his brother had to support the family.
He attended evening sessions at the Art Students League and the Academy of Art.
The editor of Warheit, Louis E. Miller (Ida incorrectly wrote his name as "Louis B. Miller"), hired Zagat in 1912; Zagat's political cartoons first appeared in March of that year and his first Gimpel Beynish cartoon appeared in December.
Jacob C. Rich, one of his editors, wrote that, while the ideas and text accompanying the drawings were Miller’s, "Zagat endued them with a playfulness and a Jewish charm that no other artist was able to duplicate"
