Croaker Jr.

BiographyCroaker or Croaker, Jr. was a pseudonym of the poet Joseph Rodman Drake (1795-1820). The name appears as a signature on a cariacature of P.T. Barnum published in the 1850s, long after Drake's death; although the artist may be intentionally alluding to Drake, the caricature was clearly drawn by someone else.
