Louis Dalrymple, the illustrator and cartoonist, was born at Cambridge,
Illinois, January 19, 1861. After receiving a common school education,
he entered the Pennsylvania academy of fine arts, graduated from it
with credit and later studied at the art students’ league of New York.
Subsequently he branched out for himself and began to submit drawings
to the metropolitan comic publications and newspapers. Work of this
kind secures immediate recognition for an artist who can comply with
the public demands of the moment. Mr. Dalrymple being not only clever
but shrewd, it came about that within a very short time he was kept
busy in executing commissions. His work is characterized by a delicacy
and acumen that prove that he thinks as well as he draws.
