Margaret Evans Price,1888 1973, was a children's book illustrator, an artist, a business person and a U.S. toy manufacturer. Margaret Evans began her art career at an early age, and sold her first illustrated story to the Boston Journal in 1900. She was born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, and studied at the Massachusetts Normal Art School and the Boston Academy of Fine. Before she married Irving Price, Evans worked as a freelance artist in New York City, publishing with Rand McNally, Harper & Brothers. After the formation of Fisher-Price, Margaret went on to exhibit her work in many galleries nationally. She was also published in Nature Magazine, the Women's Home Companion, and Pictorial Review. With her husband, Irving Price, and Herman Fisher, she co-founded Fisher-Price Toys in 1930. She became the first Art Director of Fisher-Price and designed push-pull toys for the opening line, based on characters from her children's books.
