What inspired this Chart-Pattern:
Jessie Willcox Smith, 1863-1935, Born in the Mount Airy
neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1884 Smith attended the School
of Design for Women (which is now Moore College of Art & Design), and later
studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under Thomas Eakins in
Philadelphia, graduating in 1888. A year later, she started working in the
production department of the Ladies' Home Journal, for five years. She left to take classes under Howard Pyle,
first at Drexel and then at the Brandywine School. She was a prolific contributor to books and
magazines during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, illustrating
stories and articles for clients such as Century, Collier's Weekly, Leslie's
Weekly, Harper's, McClure's, Scribners, and the Ladies' Home Journal. Smith may
be most well known for her covers on Good Housekeeping, which she painted from
December 1917 through March 1933. She also painted posters and portraits. Her
twelve illustrations for Charles Kingsley's The Water-Babies (1916) are also
well known. On Smith's death, she bequeathed the original works to the Library
of Congress' "Cabinet of American Illustration" collection. A
thirteenth illustration remains in a private collection. The Hall of Fame of the Society of
Illustrators has inducted only 10 women since its inception in 1958. Smith was
the second after Lorraine Fox. Of those ten, three of them occupied the same
house, Cogslea, as the Red Rose Girls. Elizabeth Shippen Green and Violet
Oakley were fellow Howard Pyle students who shared that space, which was
arguably the finest assembly of illustrative talent ever in American life.
Smith's papers are deposited in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts.
