Howard Pyle (1853-1911) was one of America’s most popular illustrators and storytellers of adventure, chivalry, romance and piracy at the end of the 19th century. His illustrations appeared in magazines like Harper’s Monthly, St. Nicholas, and Scribner’s Magazine, gaining him both national and international exposure. The broad appeal of his imagery made him a celebrity in his lifetime.

In 1901, he founded a school of illustration. Some of his more notable students were N. C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Harvey Dunn, Violet Oakley, Elizabeth Shippen Green, Jessie Willcox Smith.
