SUMMARY
Maxfield Parrish left a legacy of magnificent paintings, but he is best appreciated in the context of his own life & times. This book provides that context with an overview of the era in which American illustrative art flourished. When Parrish first arrived on the publishing scene in the 1890s, "mass media" meant print media. From Arthurian legends to American fables like The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, stories were avidly read by a literate population. New printing technology made color illustrations possible, a liberating element for artists & a delight for readers. Part lively Parrish biography & part lucid historical analysis, this book offers a treasure trove of illustrations from classic children's literature by Parrish & his contemporaries, accompanied by excerpts from the stories.Wagner, Margaret E. is the author of 'Maxfield Parrish & the Illustrators of the Golden Age' with ISBN 9780764912573 and ISBN 0764912577.
