A
fairly famous family:
Maginel
Wright, born in Massachusetts on this date in 1881, grew up to be a
children's book illustrator and a graphic artist, called by some one
of the very best artists for children.
Her
brother, Frank Lloyd Wright, grew up to be a renowned architect.
Maginel
married another artist named Pat Enright, and her daughter from that
marriage was Elizabeth Enright, who also became a children's book
illustrator—and also a writer. Elizabeth Enright won the
prestigious Newbery Medal.
Maginel
Wright Enright illustrated books by such well known authors as L.
Frank Baum (famous for his Oz books), and she illustrated now-classic
books such as Heidi and Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates.
In all, she illustrated 63 children's books. She also illustrated
textbooks; her daughter credits her with revolutionizing textbook
illustration.
Here
is some of her work:
