Fascinating Harrison Cady illustration, showing the Road To Hell, published in 1910.
Walter Harrison Cady (1877-1970) was an American illustrator and author, best known for his Peter Rabbit comic strip. His first publication came as early as 1894: an illustration in a supplement to Harper's Young People.
Cady moved to New York City in 1896 and found work as an illustrator with the Brooklyn Eagle newspaper, before moving to Life, where he spent many productive years.
Cady was prolific, illustrating over 70 years for such publications as S t. Nicholas Magazine, Boys' Life, The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal, Good Housekeeping and Country Gentleman. He illustrated the Queen Silver-Bell series by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
In addition to his extensive illustrating of others' books, Cady also authored several books with his own illustrations, including his Butternut Hill series (1929), Johnny Funny-Bunny's Picnic Party (1928) and Spring Moving Day (1928).
