Golden Age of Illustration

This collection of Golden Age Illustration was compiled by Rhode Island watercolor artist, Abigail Whipple Cooke. The prints were collected from various turn-of-the century magazines such as Harper's, Collier's, Scribner's and McClure's, and compiled in a scrapbook. The RISD Library purchased this collection in 2012. Artists represented include J.C. Leyendecker, Maxfield Parrish, Howard Pyle, Jessie Wilcox Smith, Walter Appleton Clark, William Hurd Lawrence, Ann Whelan Betts, and others.
