If he had lived, this young American designer of the cloth covers of books and of posters would have done notable, permanent work. Much under thirty when he died suddenly of pneumonia, he was little over twenty when he first came to London and visited publishers’ offices with letters of introduction from Mrs. Atherton and samples of the work he had done in the United States. Always he did his best; while, when the work was specially congenial, when he was given a free hand, the covers he designed, in their adaptation of means to ends, showed an unusual command of conditions which his many imitators seem hardly to realize." - Obituary written by Grant Richards and published in "The Athenaeum" [1903-01-03 (Iss. 3923)] See all items with this value; American Art annual for 1900 See all items with this value
