found time TO write at least a dozen
books. The first Of these, "The Merrie
Adventures of Robin Hood" was
published IN 1888. His book, Re

quite in contrast with his other works

Mr. Pyle taught art in Drexel Insti-
tute in Philadelphia for awhile His
greatest art work began in New York
City. He was regarded as the found
er Of the modern school OF book and
magazine illustration, and it is said
by some artists that three-fourths Of
the illustrators Of today who have
achieved prominence and fame in the
world Of illustrating either started
with Mr.. Pyle or studied with him.
In manner he was retiring. yet with
a most pleasing manner and person
ality He was never happier than
when surrounded by men devoted to
art or literature as he was. although
he was most companionable I'm any
gathering He liked music. too.
One Of Mr.. Pyles classmates in
his student days was the great artist
Edward Abbey, and their friendship
continued through the years.
For many years Mr.. Pyle had been
associated with the publishing house
of the Harpers, and his greatest il
iustrations have appeared in their
magazines and books.
Mr.. Pyle's studio on Franklin street
was one Of the art centers of the
United States Il has been the start
Of many professional careers, the cen
ter of many gatherings of some of the
men who have achieved the highest
place I'm the world OF art. AS the
students of the Pyle School increased,
the art colony of Wilmington and
nearby began It's development until it
has reached its present elaborate and
recognized scope.
Mr.. Pyle was a personal friend of
former President Theodore Roosevelt
and he and Mrs. Pyle attended sew
eral Of the Roosevelt receptions at the
White House. With his lofty ideals
and his fame IN the world Of art and
letters, Mr.. Pyle never thrust himself
in the fore in civic affairs, although
he was not lacking in interest in
them. Politically. he was a Republi-
can aud once went as a delegate 20
