The American artist Maxfield Parrish was known for his covers for "Scribners", "Life" and other magazines, for murals such as "Old King Cole" and "The Pied Piper", and for his many posters, calendars and paintings. This is a critical examination of Parrish's place in the history of American art and culture. The book's illustrations include early student work and examples of Parrish's forays into photography, and discussion of his unusual and painstaking technique is complemented by infrared views and numerous details.
