Ralph Emerson Barton (1891–1931) was a caricaturist and illustrator. Barton’s first caricature was of Thomas Hart Benton, his last was Charlie Chaplin. In between he knew everyone and drew everyone in the social and cultural scene of New York during the 1920s and 1930s. Much of Barton’s work from the mid-1920s onward was for the New Yorker Magazine. Other prominent magazines of the era to feature his work were Collier’s, Photoplay, Vanity Fair, Judge, and Harper’s Bazaar. He also illustrated one of the 1920s' most popular books, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
