PAY OF THE ILLUSTRATORS.
Wide Difference Of Rates Between the
Famous Artists and the
Unknown

illustrators for books and periodicals.
receive payment for their work a
| rates that vary from less than 81 u
more than $1,000 picture, says tn
New York Sun.
The late Hamilton Gibson. who
without being recognized as q great IL
illustrator. was almost alone as master
OF botanical illustration, obtained
about $3.50 for even small book illus
trations. For some Of his earlier work
to be found In a sort Of guide book 10
sued many years ago by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, he probably received
less than one-twentieth Of that rate.
Only few illustrators can command
90 much as 81, 200 for full page maya
zine illustration, but several have been
receiving such rates for some years
past, and they often demand the re-
turn Of the original picture after the
plate for the illustration has been
made Such men probably never &C.
cept less than three or four hundred
dollars for any Of their smallest illus
trations.
These are men Of worldwide reputa-
ton, though 1t is generally believed
that two magazine readers out Of
three are unable to recognize the style
Of the ablest illustrators, whose pic
lures they see q dozen times year.
Below the few illustrators Of the first
rank are many extremely able men
who command rates that vary from q
fourth to half Of the highest The
best-paid men can probably be counted
on the fingers Of one hand.
The men who command from 500 to
$500 for q full-page illustration are
numbered certainly by dozens, posi-
bly, by scores. Many of them, how
ever, cannot always maintain prices.
If caught when they are hard-up they
will undertake to execute work at lit
tie more than half the usual rate.
The men and women who draw for
the fashion papers often get very fair
prices for their work. Some able IL
Illustrators are employed by the fashion
papers to make ideal heads that more
or less effectively illustrate bonnets
and coiffures. For such pictures the
price may easily be as much as $50.
Book illustration. below that Of the
ablest illustrators, is not so well paid
as magazine illustration, but 1t is a
certain and profitable kind Of work for
a large number of comparatively
young illustrators. The demand for
such work has enormously increased
In the asst twenty years, since the rage
for popular fiction developed.
A few publishers have occasionally
attempted to get rid Of the illustrators
pay by having illustrations made from
photographs taken directly from posed
models. Figure work of this kind is
usually nothing less than CHASTITY, and
the illustrators take the highest delight |
In the failure of such attempts to |
crowd them out.
Some highly successful landscape IL |
Illustrations, however, have been made
directly from nature, and some Of the
publishers profess to hope that they
may yet succeed with figure illustra-
lions OF the same kind.

A. the years sped, however, he began

without the pale Of his own family cir-

,period Of his career and their married
ietfe had been exceedingly companion

II was very soon after invading the

travesty. But there - something TO
