| biography:
| Illustrator and painter, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. He studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1891–3), later joining the well-known art colony in Cornish, NH (1898). He became famous for his technically skilled and highly decorative illustrations, book-covers, murals, and best-selling colour prints such as ‘Daybreak’ (1920). Retiring from illustration in the 1930s, he spent the rest of his life painting rural landscapes, reproduced on calendars and greeting cards. |
