~W. Harrison Cady~

.
W. HARRISON CADY (1877-1970), was "a man who
saw things that were not there" said editor and owner of
the old Life Magazine, John Ames, about this successful
illustrator who depicted nature with great fidelity and
imagination. Fantasy and friendly animals living in
ethereal magical worlds became Cady's trademark
and thus prompted his work on hundreds of books
and newspaper pages, Old Mother West Wind
and Peter Rabbit by Thornton W. Burgess in particular.

After his father's untimely death when Harrison was
eighteen, Harrison moved to New York City and found
work, first at the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper,
later at Life Magazine. This led to a long career as
a newspaper and magazine illustrator, as well as
numerous children's books, featuring both fantastic
and realistic animal illustrations. He had a long
association with the American author Thornton W. Burgess
and became best known for his works in Bedtime Stories,
a daily newspaper column created by Burgess.
