Biography (From Wikipedia)

Edward Windsor Kemble (January 18, 1861 – September 19, 1933) was an American illustrator. He is known best for
illustrating the first edition of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and for his cartoons of African Americans.

Kemble was born in Sacramento, California. In 1875, he was enrolled at a boarding school in Philadelphia, which
was a center of artistic activity. His artistic talent was such that he was a successful contributor to periodicals by 1881.
He became the major political cartoonist for the New York Graphic while receiving his only formal artistic training at t
he Art Students League of New York.

When Life magazine was founded in 1883, Kemble became a frequent contributor to its early issues. He was a staff
political cartoonist for Collier's from 1903 to 1907, for Harper's Weekly from 1907 to 1912 before returning to Collier's,
and for Leslie's Weekly and Judge in the late 1910s.

His lively cartoons, some of the magazine industry's most mature work, attracted the attention of Mark Twain, who
employed Kemble to illustrate Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Kemble subsequently illustrated several other famous
books, including Twain's Puddin' Head Wilson, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, Washington Irving's
Knickerbocker History of New York, and many of Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories.

Kemble lived in the Rochelle Park area of suburban New Rochelle.

Kemble died in Ridgefield, Connecticut in 1933, aged 72.
