Information about the artist/illustrator:

Charles Spiegle, Jr. (1862-1905)

Charles Spiegle, Jr. was reportedly born in in Brooklyn, N.Y. during 1862. [Dibble] We noted another source suggesting he was born in 1859. We had thought he died in 1931, but that is apparently incorrect. His grand daughter tells us, "Charles Spiegle, Jr. was married in Brooklyn, N.Y. to England born Annie E. Morgan in 1886. At the time of his marriage he was working in an artist studio in Buffalo, N.Y. He died in January 1905 at the age of 43 (just turned by days) alighting from a midnight train in Passaic Park, N.Y. where he had lived with his family of a wife and three children almost 18 years. In his successful brief career, he was the original artist of "Aunt Jemima" who was a cook in the Spiegle household and another cereal character known as "Uncle Jim". The icon "Aunt Jemima" survived but "Uncle Jim" died out. He is known to have painted a number of portraits in oil but he "preferred" water colors.
