THE news of the death of Howard
! Pyle, which occurred in Rome last
week, was shock to many. Mr.. Pyle
was one of our best known illustrators
and also a distinguished writer and
teacher. His stories of the sea were as
engaging as his illustrations of privateers-
men and pirates, and it is question
whether he may not have made even
larger contribution to the field of Amerl-
can art through the instruction he gave
to nnumerable young illustrators VINO
have come to prominence than even In MS
individual work. He was not a man OF
great age-in fact, as he had not yet
reached his sixtieth year he should nave
still been in his prime
Samuel Isham said of him that he was
the one man who seemed to know the
revolutionary epoch thorou5hiy ana tnal
special thanks were due him for having
represented the founders of the repunllc
as they were-'.sturdy, hard-headed folh,
with strong characters and lew Sraces,

comic opera or dancing masters. OF his
knights of the Round Table medieval
poets and ladies', seamen and pirates one
may also speak with enthusiasm. MI.
