His work appeared in Harper’s Weekly, Scribner’s, Collier’s, Century, Puck, and Life. As a humorist, he knew how to blend both the real and the ridiculous to create visual images for the forms he and others wrote about. In more than ninety books and countless articles written by Lewis Carroll, Charles Dickens, Joel Chandler Harris, Theodore Roosevelt, Sir Walter Scott, Frank R. Stockton, Mark Twain, and many others he created the picture worth a thousand words” (Constance Koppelman for ANB).
