Henry P. Raleigh
(1880-1944) |
Henry Raleigh
studied at Hopkins Academy in San Francisco, but got most of his
training on the job working for the local newspapers, including
those of William Randolph Hearst. He combined a variety of media in
his drawings, working in watercolor over Wolff pencil, dry brush or
pen-and-ink. While his early training prepared him for illustrating
all types of subject matter, Raleigh is perhaps best known for his
work documenting well-dressed, high-society men and women. He had a
consistent level of quality that ensured him a long and fruitful
career. |
