Portrait of Peter Newell

"All the sunshine of his life — and there seems to be a great store of it — he shares with all who will partake, and if he has any troubles he keeps them to himself. He is essentially a humorist, and one of the highest type.  It is his mission to bring laughter into the world, and he succeeds beyond measure, and always cleanly, clearly, humanely. He reminds one of Thackeray's implied definition of humor when in description of Dickens he speaks of "that mixture of love and wit - humor, tender humor."    - John Kendrick Bangs  August 24, 1899

American artist Peter Sheaf Hersey Newell (March 5, 1862 – January 15, 1924) created hundreds of comical anthropomorphic illustrations during his career as a children's illustrator and author.  He produced work for Harper's Weekly, the Saturday Evening Post and Judge, had his own comic strip called The Naps of Polly Sleepyhead and published his own books, including Peter Newell's Pictures and Rhymes.  He also illustrated the works of Mark Twain, Steven Crane , Lewis Carrol and other authors.  You can learn more about Peter Newell and see additional illustrations here.
