The artists of the early Life magazine (1883-1936)
This list is huge (yes!) but still contains only a portion of the artists in the first Life magazine. Most artists listed below either contributed many artworks to Life magazine or were featured on a cover, a two-page center spread or a full-page artwork. You may assume that most artists appeared many more times in Life magazine than is indicated in my descriptions. *** The links below show search results for only one version of each name, try others if you want to find more examples!
My descriptions of samples of the content of Life magazine were written over many years and my ability to identify individual artists grew as time passed. The same artist (for example) may appear in my descriptions as Crosby, R. M. Crosby, Rm Crosby, or Raymond Moreau Crosby. I spent many (many!) hours bent over the magazines with a hand lens to study signatures and then more hours searching other forums for verification. Some of the signatures were clear but I could not find a reference to them elsewhere so they are unverified. I cannot guarantee absolute accuracy, but I have tried.
A few names came from lists of contributors and may not be included in a magazine description on the website. Some of the artists changed their signatures over the years, either in style (printed vs. cursive) or in content of the signature. Some signed with a glyph or a nickname and not a signature. Some were always legible, some were never legible (you just needed to recognize the scrawl). Other sources may disagree with (or have mis-spelled) a name (i.e. Wilson vs. William). I left out those that really flummoxed me.
