"Mead Schaeffer (1898-1980) was born in Freedom Plains, NY and grew up in Springfield, Massachusetts. The son of a Presbyterian minister, he called himself a grandchild of Howard Pyle. He studied at Pratt Institute and then with Dean Cornwell, a pupil of Harvey Dunn. From this educational lineage, Schaeffer developed his talent in the finest tradition of the Brandywine School. His early illustrations of romance and adventures stories were characterized by a painterly technique with color laid down in generous and satisfying strokes."Information from illustrationhistory.org<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://www.illustrationhistory.org/artists/mead-schaeffer">https://www.illustrationhistory.org/artists/mead-schaeffer</a>
