Known as an historical illustrator and muralist, Walter Humphrey (Elkhorn, Wisconsin, 1892 - Glens Falls, New York, 1966) often received commissions for text book and magazine illustrations. World Book Encyclopaedia, Liberty, Colliers, and the Saturday Evening Post, for whom he often did covers, were among his clients. He had a particular focus on Colonial America and the war for independence. He initially studied at Dartmouth College and then went to the Art Students League of New York.
