Frost, A[rthur] B[urdett] (1851–1928), illustrator and cartoonist, noted for his subtly humorous pen‐and‐ink interpretations of such rural American types as the farmer, the plantation black, and the sportsman. He illustrated the Uncle Remus stories, fixing the images of their characters, and works by Mark Twain, Max Adeler, J.K. Bangs, and H.C. Bunner. Some of his drawings in narrative sequence he collected in Stuff and Nonsense (1884) and other volumes.
