Hello,
I need to find a photo of the mathematician and economist Charles Wiggins Cobb (most known for his Cobb-Douglas production function). I have managed to gather little data on him but would really need to obtain a picture whether it is in electronic format, or if anybody has a book containing his photo laying around and can scan it (the photo) for me.
Any help would be grately appreciated. Google didn't really come through for me this time.

I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff!
