Smith, Dorothy Hope
Dorothy Hope Smith (1895-1955) was a noted illustrator, most well known for creating the portrait of the Gerber Baby in 1928. The model for the Gerber Baby was Ann Turner, the daughter of cartoonist Leslie Turner and his wife, Bethel Turner.
Dorothy Hope Smith was married to Perry Barlow, the famed New Yorker cartoonist, whom she met when they were both students at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The couple married in 1922, eventually moving to New York City to pursue their illustration careers. Smith's illustration specialty was portraying babies and children, and she became one of the "Ivory Soap Baby" illustrators for Procter and Gamble. Additionally, Smith illustrated for numerous magazines and books. As Perry Barlow was color blind, Dorothy often did the color work for him on his New Yorker covers. After her passing in 1955, Peter Barlow, Dorothy and Perry's son, took over the color assistance for his father.
All of the illustrations here appeared in "Eight O'Clock Stories", written by Robert Gordon Anderson, and published in 1923 by Putnam. The color images are done on vellum, and are original ink and watercolor pieces done as color guides for the ink illustrations.
