ABOUT THE ARTIST

Jules Gotlieb traveled in many out-of-the-way parts of the world, from North Africa to the jungles of Dutch Guiana, collecting background material for his illustrations. He also accumulated a library of over 2,000 volumes for reference in doing historical illustration for nearly every national magazine, including Collier’s, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, American, Woman’s Home Companion, Liberty, This Week, The Ladies’ Home Journal, and for several books.

   A native New Yorker, Gotlieb studied at the National Academy School of Fine Arts, the Pennsylvania Academy at Chester Springs and the Art Students League. Among his teachers were George Bridgman and Harvey Dunn. He later taught at the League himself from 1932 to 1934.
