Illustrator Research - Maxfield Parrish

Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966), born Frederick Parrish, was an American illustrator. During the Golden Age of Illustration, Parrish's "beautiful settings and charming figures" were loved by the American public. His work includes immense murals in office buildings and hotels, magazine covers, and advertisements as well as his book illustrations. Even today, many of his illustrations to children's books are still popular. They are the result of his struggle to make a living as an artist in his early years around the turn of the 20th century.
