Illustrator Research - Howard Pyle

Howard Pyle (1853-1911) was an American illustrator and writer, primarily of books for young audiences. In 1894 he began teaching at what is now Drexel University, but after 1900 he founded his own art school called the Howard Pyle School of Illustration Art. Among his students were such illustrators as N.C. Wyeth and Jessie Wilcox Smith (conveniently two other illustrators we have to research). His 1883 classic The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (which he wrote and illustrated) remains in print to this day, and he did a four-volume set on King Arthur that cemented his reputation.
