Description: Father of Andrew Wyeth, pupil of Howard Pyle, and one of the most eminent illustrators of the early twentieth century, Newell Convers Wyeth (1882-1945) early learned to use dramatic effects to great advantage in his work. His robust, romantic illustrations earned him many commissions from such popular publications of the period as Harper's Monthly, Ladies' Home Journal, McClure's, and The Saturday Evening Post. This collection includes 24 excellent reproductions of Wyeth's most dynamic illustrations for magazines and literary classics, as well as personal paintings, landscapes, and other subjects in the collection of the Brandywine River Museum, Chadds Ford, PA. Included are The Wreck of the Covenant (from Kidnapped), Captain Bill Bones (Treasure Island), The Fight in the Forest (The Last of the Mohicans), In the Crystal Depths, Still Life with Onions, In a Dream I Meet General Washington, Chadds Ford Landscape, House in Maine, Pyle's Barn, and 15 others. These handsome cards are perfect for sending brief messages to art-loving friends and relatives; they can also be used as unique bookmarks and gift cards, or framed for a personal collection.
