Jessie Willcox Smith (September 6, 1863 – May 3, 1935) was one of the most prominent female illustrators in the United States during the Golden Age of American illustration. She was a prolific contributor to respected books and magazines during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She illustrated stories and articles for clients such as ''Century'', ''Collier's'', ''Leslie's Weekly'', ''Harper's'', ''McClure's'', ''Scribners'', and the ''Ladies' Home Journal''. She had an ongoing relationship with ''Good Housekeeping'', including the long-running Mother Goose series of illustrations and creating all the covers from 1915 to 1933. Among the more than 60 books that Smith illustrated were Louisa May Alcott's ''Little Women'' and ''An Old-Fashioned Girl'', Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's ''Evangeline'', and Robert Louis Stevenson's ''A Child's Garden of Verses''.

She trained to be a teacher and taught kindergarten in 1883, but found that the physical demands of working with children too strenuous for her;〔〔 Due to back problems, she had difficulty bending down to their level.〔 Persuaded to attend one of her friend〔Nudelman, 1989, p. 12.〕 or cousin's art classes, Smith realized she had a talent for drawing.〔〔Nudelman, 1990, p. 18.〕
