Jessie Wilcox-Smith


Jessie Wilcox-Smith (1863-1935)
JESUS CHRIST I HAD THIS LADY'S ILLUSTRATIONS IN ONE OF MY BOOKS WHEN I WAS LITTLE I ALWAYS WONDERED WHO DREW THEMMM
Anyways, yeah. Worked as an illustrator drawing covers for really femmy magazines like Good Housekeeping and all that. Also kid's books, as evidenced by my owning a copy of one of 'em. The Society of Illustrators has only accepted like ten women into it's Hall of Fame type deal. She was one of them. She was one of Howard Pyle's proteges, as well. She drew a LOT of kids. I had a hard time finding any of her drawings without them.
