Life magazine covers were on a variety of topics. Each issue had a theme that was introduced by the cover and reflected throughout the issue. This issue's cover was titled “A Fisher of Men.” Marcus Mitchell "Mark" Fenderson was born in Monticello, Minnesota, in 1863. His father was a retail grocer. After the death of his father, his mother sent him to her brother's school at Billerica, Massachusetts. Noticing Fenderson's artistic talent, his uncle encouraged him to study art, and he studied in France and Italy. His career began in the newspaper as an illustrator of news events. He also contributed to Life for over 10 years and worked at other publications. He also taught school in New York. He died in 1944. Full page cartoon. |
