Clifford Berryman Bear is a faithful rendition of the original teddy bear depicted in the 1902 political cartoon by Washington Post artist Clifford Berryman.

This was the first of many cartoons Berryman would draw featuring President Roosevelt with his namesake bear. Presented in commemoration of the teddy bear's 100th anniversary, Clifford Berryman Bear is meticulously crafted and highly appointed, capturing the spirit, personality and magic of berryman's original cartoon design. It is a true collectible for young and old alike.
