Description: |
Most issues of Life had a theme that was introduced by the cover and reflected throughout the issue. This was the "Lusitania Number." Margery Stocking was born in New Jersey in 1888 and settled in Greenwich, CT. She studied painting and an illustration at the prestigious Chase School of Art in New York. She also at the Art Student League with landscape painter Frank Vincent Dumond, an influential teacher and a director of the Lyme School of Art in Connecticut. On March 3, 1927 at the age of thirty-eight she married Albert Jonathan Hart. She illustrated magazines and books, and did cover art as well. She spent many years as an illustrator for Harper's Magazine and others before turning to painting full-time. She died in 1993, just before her 105 birthday. Small cartoon about a quarter page. There were very few women illustrators and cartoonists at Life, but Margery Hart was a frequent submitter. |
