One of the greatest illustraters of the 19th century, Jessie Willcox Smith was born in Philadelphia in 1863. She had originally studied to be a kindergarten teacher and served in that capacity before accidentally discovering a talent for drawing. She quickly began formal courses at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where she learned from Thomas Eakins, and others. She graduated in 1888 and began a long, distinguished career. Her earliest work appeared in the monthly magazine for children, St. Nicholas.
