This office may have been known to the newspaper staff as "the chamber of horrors," but that didn't stop the illustrator Winsor McCay from sporting a boater hat, ca. 1920. The paper was the NY Journal American, owned by William Randolph Hearst. McCay is best known for the paper's Sunday color newspaper cartoon, Little Nemo in Slumberland, and the animated film short Gertie the Trained Dinosaur. Sports page cartoonist Joe McGurk is in the center; the other man unidentified.
