Henry Hutt - Sweet Victorian Ladies

Born in Chicago, Henry Hutt became an illustrator credited with being highly influential in setting styles by "depicting the stylish, up-to-date female" of the early 20th century. In 1908, his publication, The Henry Hutt Picture Book, a volume of more than eighty of his illustrations, published by Century Company was a popular gift.
He sold his first illustration to LIFE magazine when he was age 16, and continued to have many of those magazine commissions.
The artist died in 1950.
