Winslow Homer Wood Engravings
Winslow Homer (1836 - 1910), one of America's most important artists of the second half of the 19th century, began his career as an illustrator and designer of wood engravings for periodicals such as "Ballou's", "Harper's Weekly", and "Every Saturday". His success and experience as an engraver laid a solid and invaluable foundation for his later development as a painter and aided in the growth of his international reputation. Homer's subject matter of the 1870s was primarily rural or idyllic scenes of farm life; children at play; and resort scenes peopled with fashionable women. Some of his best work was done while he was summering in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
