Famous Quakers

With one child in a Quaker (Friends) school, I found this list of famous (and not-so-famous) Quakers interesting. My favorite is a man I never knew by name – until now: Cassius Coolidge, the artist famous for Dogs Playing Poker. As the list maker says,

I really only included "Cash" Coolidge because I have a fondness for his Dogs Playing Poker prints (one used to hang over my puppy's sleeping cushion in my old house). Still, it's pretty interesting to know that the painter was born to abolitionist Quakers in upstate New York, and that he's oft-credited with creating Comic Foregrounds, or those novelty photo scenes you pay $2 to stick your head into, to make your body look muscle-bound at the beach
