Will H. Bradley
William Henry Bradley (10 July 1868 – 25 January 1962) was an American Art Nouveau illustrator and artist. Nicknamed the "Dean of American Designers" by The Saturday Evening Post, he was the highest paid American artist of the early 20th century.
==Biography==
Bradley was born 10 July 1868 in Boston, Massachusetts to Aaron Bradley and Sarah Rowland.〔Koch, Robert (2002), ''Will H. Bradley: An American Artist in Print: A Collector's Guide,'' Manchester, Vermont: Hudson Hills Press, LLC. ISBN 1-55595-224-0.〕 At the age of 12 he obtained a job as an apprentice for a weekly newspaper — the ''Iron Agitator'', later known as the ''Iron Ore'' — in Ishpeming, Michigan. He had moved there with his mother to be with family after the death of his father. He left at 17 for Chicago, Illinois, where he held a few brief jobs as a wood engraver and typographer before dedicating himself to freelance graphic design. He moved back to Massachusetts and set up the Wayside Press, where he served as an illustrator, editor, typographer, designer, and press manager for a periodical aptly named ''Bradley: His Book''. The periodical usually contained compilations of poetry, stories, and sketches, and his work received a warm reception. He had achieved financial success, but the stress of managing so many projects at once began to damage his health, and he collapsed at the age of 28. He recovered quickly, but he was forced to sell the Wayside Press.
He later worked as a consultant for the American Type Founders and as an editor for Collier's Weekly. He worked briefly with children’s books, then for William Randolph Hearst’s film division as a supervising art director and assistant director on the Wharton Brothers' serial films Beatrice Fairfax (1916) and Patria (1917). After the latter, he founded his own production company, Dramafilms, and went on to write, produce and direct his own films, including ''Bitter Fruit'' (1920),〔Lindsay, Martin S.

Retrieved 09 Jun 2015.〕〔 “Movies are to add fame to Tarpon Springs,” ''Tampa Morning Tribune'' (Tampa, FL), Fri, 28 Feb 1919, pg B-9.〕 ''Moongold'' (1920) and ''The Tame Cat'' (1921).
In 1954, The Typophiles published a memoir of Bradley's life called ''Will Bradley: His Chap Book,'' though only 650 copies were ever published. The same year, he won the AIGA award, the highest honor for graphic designers. He was a prolific artist and designer up until his death at age 94.
