Abstract:

William Prince grew up in Chapel Hill and began drawing an early age. When he was fifteen, the family moved to Alabama, and he later went to New York to study art. In his last year at the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts, he won a contest for illustrations sponsored by COLLIER'S MAGAZINE. Orders came in slowly from that point, but he eventually become known. For twenty-five years he was an illustrator for magazines like COSMOPOLITAN, LADIE'S HOME JOURNAL, and THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. Now back in Chapel Hill and semi-retired, he still does two magazine illustrations a week.
