In 1901, McClure's magazine published short stories by George Edwin Henry Lefèvre under the title "A Story of Wall-Street." The first and perhaps best illustrator of the series was William Robinson Leigh. William Robinson Leigh (1866-1955) was born in West Virginia. At the age of fourteen, he attended classes at the Maryland Institute in Baltimore, where he studied for three years. He then studied for more than ten years at the Royal Academy of Arts in Munich (German: Königlichen Akademie der Künste in München); he left Germany in 1895. Returning to the United States, William Robinson Leigh illustrated for magazines, including McClure's Magazine, The Century Magazine, Scribner's Magazine, and Collier's. In 1906, under an agreement with the Santa Fe Railway, he traveled west in exchange for a commitment to paint the Grand Canyon. The impressions of this trip determined William Robinson Lee's subsequent artistic development as an artist of the Wild West. In this article, I present some of his renderings published in the New York monthly McClure's in 1900.
