Having considered over the last few weeks what some of the earliest poker strategy books from the late 19th and early 20th centuries tell us about the game's place in the culture, let's round out our look at early poker titles with a unique and humorous 1925 entry, called simply Webster's Poker Book.
The book's title gives the spotlight to the beloved cartoonist Harold Tucker Webster — better known as "H.T. Webster" or "Webby" — who contributes 50 poker-themed cartoons to the volume. Webster was the most famous American cartoonist of the first half of the 20th century, responsible for over 16,000 cartoons, more than a dozen books, and even once appearing on the cover of Time magazine.
