"The Massachusetts Soldiers Marched West” (Ch. V)
By Norman Mills Price (1877-1951)
5 x 8 in., ink of board

European-trained, Price moved to NY in 1912 and established himself as an illustrator. A stickler for detail, he was almost instantly successful for his well-researched images with authentic costumes and accuracy in all aspects of his portrayals. People generally enjoyed looking at the details of his illustrations. His magazine illustrations were published by American Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Liberty, St. Nicholas, and Women’s Home Companion. At the time of his death, Price was honorary president of the Society of Illustrators in New York.

This illustration appeared in “Paul Revere and the Minute Men,” by Dorothy Canfield Fisher, published by Random House in 1950, so this would be among Price’s last works.
