COBB

COBB was the name signed by the artist who illustrated the 1924
pamphlet titled Captivating Vancouver (see below). Although
there are variations in the signature from drawing to drawing, the
majority of them appear to be signed "COBB" with a little check mark
(or seagull) below the name. It may also be initials "WBB" or
"MBB." The editor was unable to find any more information about
the artist at time of writing.
Although only a few of the drawings were scanned for this article, the
pamphlet has many more that are equally well drawn and interesting,
all of them of well-chosen and historic views around Vancouver.
