859-1904) frequently scored, and in the
wide extent of the United States one finds keen wits busily assailing
the manifold evils of life. Noteworthy among them are: Thos. E.
Powers, H.R. Heaton, Albert Levering, Clare Angell and R.C. Swayne.
_Scandinavia._--Caricature flourishes also in the Scandinavian
countries, but few names are known beyond their borders. Professor
Hans Tegner of Denmark is an exception; his illustrations to Hans
Andersen (English edition, 1900) have carried his name wherever that
author is appreciated, yet his reputation was made in the Danish
_Punch_, which was founded after the year 1870 but has long ceased to
exist. Alfred Schmidt and Axel Thiess have contributed notable
sketches to _Puk_ and its successor _Klockhaus_, but in point of style
they scarcely carry on the tradition of their predecessor, Fritz
Jurgensen. Among humorous artists of Norway, Th. Kittelsen perhaps
holds the leading place, and in Sweden, Bruno Liljefors, best known as
a brilliant painter of bird life.
