Photograph of Katharine Pyle
Description
Illustrator Katharine Pyle (1863-1938) was the sister of lauded artist Howard Pyle. She studied at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women and the New York Art Students’ League. The Counterpane Fairy was the first success of her career, in which she wrote more than 30 books and created illustrations for books and magazines. Her illustrations are more line-heavy than her brother’s and often fantastical in nature. In addition to single-page color illustrations, Pyle’s ink drawings depict scenes throughout Granny’s Wonderful Chair. Altogether, her work exudes a beautiful, soft sensibility with emotional underpinnings.
