Seattle Cartoonists' Club
The Seattle Cartoonists' Club was an association in Seattle, Washington, of editorial cartoonists and caricaturists in the early 20th century. Working for different papers and companies associated with publishing, the men got together to produce joint works. The men were important for their role in documenting Seattle's culture and for their editorializing. Their books were works that blend the serious with the nonsensical.
==Vanity books==
They produced a genre of books called vanity cartoon books, books that were subscribed to by businessmen in their community, where everybody bought a copy to pay for the book's creation.〔 (ITCH - International Team of Comic Historians. Local Vanity Cartoon Books — As We See ‘Em, Part 1 )〕 The books featured caricatures and illustrations of the men, stylized in the editorial cartoon style of the day. They tended to show attitudes of the men and things that they were known for. The vanity books served two functions. They lent a sense of prestige to the businessmen who paid for them; caricatures were viewed as recognition in their community that they were elite.〔(International Team of Comics Historians. ''Local Vanity Cartoon Books — As We See ‘Em, Part 1'' )〕 They were also good advertising.〔
In 1906, four members participated in creating ''Cartoons and Caricatures of Seattle Citizens''. The book was followed by two more in 1911, ''The Cartoon: A Reference Book of Seattle's Successful Men'' (by 11 members) and ''12th Session of the Washington State Legislature'' (4 members participated).
