Edward P. Cogger

Edward P. Cogger was an American illustrator and engraver active in the 19th century. Archival and library sources describe him as a McLoughlin Brothers artist whose work dates to the 1850s and continued for decades, with a death year of 1902.

His engraving and illustration work is closely tied to children's publishing. He is credited on editions such as Funny Alphabet and other juvenile titles, and New-York Historical notes that his work contributed to the success of McLoughlin Brothers after the Civil War.

The biographical record appears to be limited, but archival notes say he lived at 12 Ann Street in New York until 1859 and spent the rest of his life in New Jersey. No suitable verified portrait image was found from the pages reviewed.
