Charles Geer

Charles Geer (August 25, 1922 – December 7, 2008) was an American illustrator and author. He grew up on Long Island, New York, attended Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and then served in the United States Navy during World War II. Following the war he attended art school at the Pratt Institute.

Geer illustrated many children’s books and wrote and illustrated two of his own. He also designed numerous book jackets.

Many of the buildings in his illustrations feature Second Empire architecture, with their characteristic Mansard roofs.

The illustrator lived until his death in 2008 in Rockland, Maine, where he enjoyed sailing and painting watercolors. Over the years he built several boats.
