- Remarks
Newell Convers Wyeth produced over 300 illustrations for hundreds of articles, books, posters, and magazine covers. In 1911, he was accepted by Scribner's to illustrate such classics as TREASURE ISLAND, THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS, AND ROBIN HOOD. His work is characterized by a child's-eye view and feature characters in exacting detail, dramatized by long shadows. He was killed suddenly in 1945, when his car collided with an on-coming train.
