At the start of his career, these robust, romantic illustrations earned their creator many commissions from such popular publications of the period as <i>Harper's Monthly, Ladies' Home Journal, McClure's, </i>and<i> The Saturday Evening Post.</i><br>This gallery of art cards presents 24 of Wyeth's most dynamic illustrations for magazines and literary classics as well as selections from his personal paintings, landscapes, and other works from the exclusive collection of the Brandywine River Museum of Art, located in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania. Highlights include illustrations from <i>Kidnapped, Treasure Island, </i> and <i>The Last of the Mohicans</i> as well as portraits of George Washington and William Penn and rural scenes from the Chadds Ford area. An Introduction and Notes by a Brandywine River Museum curator complement the images.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>American artist and illustrator Newell Convers Wyeth (1882-1945) was a student of Howard Pyle.
