Alexander Wilson Drake

Alexander Wilson Drake (1843 – 1916) was an American artist and critic, born in Westfield, N. J. He studied oil and water-color painting and practiced wood engraving. From 1870 to 1881 he was director of the art department of "Scribner's Magazine", and thereafter he held a similar position on the "Century" and "St. Nicholas". In this capacity he did much to aid the development of the new school of wood engraving in America. He was also identified with other important art movements in the United States. He was one of the nine men who founded the Grolier Club in New York City.
