Every U. S. citizen under 40 who ever had a middle-class home or a children's library card knows the illustrations of Howard Pyle and N. C. (Newell Convers) Wyeth. Together they were and are the chief artistic pride of Wilmington, Del., and their abundant families and pupils continue to paint like fury.
