| Designer, born in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He studied at Harvard, then worked as a poster and book designer in Chicago (1893–4). He moved to Springfield, MA (1895), and later settled in Short Hills, NJ. He founded the Wayside Press and designed typefaces, furniture, and homes, developing his own style, seemingly a cross between the Arts and Craft Movement and Art Nouveau, and bridged the transition from individual hand-crafted to machine-produced work. Although many of his designs were never made, his illustrations in magazines such as the Ladies Home Journal early in the 1900s were influential. He served as an art director for Century magazine and Collier's, and wrote several children's books. |
