Mead Schaeffer (1898-1980) was an American artist who mastered painting technique, artistic form, and rhythm; he was one of the most sought-after and highly paid illustrators in the world. He studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and took lessons from Harvey Dunn. From 1922 to 1930, he illustrated literary classics published by Dodd, Mead & Co., including Moby Dick, Typee, and Omoo by Herman Melville; The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas; and Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. In the thirties and forties, he collaborated with major periodicals such as The Saturday Evening Post, Good Housekeeping, McCall's, The Ladies Home Journal, The Country Gentleman, Cosmopolitan, and American Magazine.
Mead Schaeffer was introduced to The Saturday Evening Post editor Ben Hibbs by Norman Rockwell, a close friend of Schaeffer's; this introduction led to a collaboration between the artist and the magazine's editors that lasted thirty years. Mead Schaeffer created forty-six covers for the popular weekly.
