He traveled throughout Europe with his parents in the 1880s, studying architecture and the works of the masters in European museums. When he returned to the United States, he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the Drexel Institute. By the turn of the century, Maxfield Parrish’s illustrations were featured in many top magazines, including Harper’s Bazar, Scribner’s, McClure’s, Century Magazine, Hearst’s, Collier’s, Life Magazine, and more. In 1902, he illustrated a series of articles on the Great Southwest for Century Magazine. Two years later, he created the illustrations that accompanied Edith Wharton’s series of articles on Italian Villas. Parrish illustrated many children’s books, among them L. Frank Baum’s Mother Goose in Prose, published in 1905; The Arabian Nights, Their Best-Known Tales in 1912; Tanglewood Tales in 1910; and The Knave of Hearts in 1925. He also created dozens of stunning advertisements for some of America’s top brands, including Jell-O, Hires soft drinks, Mazda Lamps, Colgate, Royal Baking Powder, Ferry Seeds, and more.
