Gibson (CHARLES DANA an Amercan artist)

CHARLES DANA, an Amercan artist and illustrator, born at Roxbury, Mass., in 1867. He was educated in private schools and studied art at the Art Students' League at New York. He early attained success with his black and white drawings in magazines; and his drawings of social subjects done in a gently satiric vein gained for him a wide reputation. He became one of the most widely known artists, not only in the United States but in England. Much of his work was done for the humorous periodical "Life," which he purchased in 1920. His published books of pictures include "Sketches in London"; "People of Dickens"; "Drawings"; "The Education of Mr. Pipp"; "A Widow and Her Friends"; and "The Social Ladder". He was a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters.
