(From TV's CBS Sunday Morning, today) - Barbara Shermund (June 26, 1899 – September 9, 1978) was born in San Francisco. Her talent emerged very early in her life. Her first artwork was published when she was nine years old on the San Francisco Chronicle's children's page under the title 'On the farm'. In 1911, she published a short story for a writing contest in The San Francisco Call. She moved to New York in 1925 after her mother's death from Spanish flu. Shermund began her career in New York by creating spot illustrations. She created covers, illustrations and cartoons for Esquire, Life and Collier's. In February 1925, Harold Ross launched The New Yorker as a humorous Manhattan-centric magazine. Shermund was one of the first women cartoonists to work for The New Yorker after its launch. Over 600 of her cartoons were published in The New Yorker. She contributed nine cover illustrations for the magazine.
