COLE, TIMOTHY (1852 )

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 665 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CLI-COM
COLE, TIMOTHY (1852 ) , American
wood
  engraver, was born in London, England, in 1852, his family emigrating to the United States in 1858. He established himself in Chicago, where in the
great
  fire of 1871 he lost everything he possessed. In 1875 he removed to New
York
 , finding
work
  on the Century (then Scribner's) magazine. He immediately attracted attention by his unusual facility and his sympathetic interpretation of illustrations and pictures, and his publishers sent him abroad in 1883 to engrave a set of blocks after the old masters in the European galleries. These achieved for him a brilliant success. His reproductions of Italian, Dutch, Flemish and English pictures were published in book form with appreciative notes by the engraver himself. Though the advent of new mechanical processes had rendered
wood
  engraving almost a lost art and left practically no demand for the
work
  of such craftsmen, Mr Cole was thus enabled to continue his work, and became one of the foremost contemporary masters of wood engraving. He received a medal of the first class at the Paris Exhibition of 19oo, and the only grand prize given for wood engraving at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St Louis, Missouri, in 1904.
