'Cobb' Shinn (Sept. 4, 1887- Jan. 28, 1951) was a Fillmore, Indiana-born post card illustrator who sold a series of effective novelty postcard lines that included (amongst others) Charlie Chaplin, cars and the Dutch culture in the starting years of the 20th Century.

After serving in World War I, Shinn discovered the marketplace for novelty postcards decreasing, and he likewise lent his creative abilities to cartoon functions and showing lots of children's books [including his own, under the nickname 'Uncle Cobb'] which taught easy detailed illustration methods.
