Merle De Vore Johnson (1874-1935) was an Oregon-born cartoonist and bibliographer. Before the First World War he managed the art department of the New York Evening Journal and then during the war was the cartoonist for the News in Rhyme section of Puck. Johnson illustrated many books and was an authority on modern American first editions.
Johnson published bibliographies of Mark Twain and James Branch Cabell, the latter of which was published by Frank Shay in 1921. An avid book collector, Johnson amassed of over 2,500 pamphlets and volumes by and about Woodrow Wilson. When he sold the collection a year before his death, it was thought to be the most complete available.
