Sarah Stilwell Weber
American illustrator, 1877–1939
Stilwell is well known for her magazine and book illustrations. Between 1903 and 1921 she frequently produced covers for Saturday Evening Post and Collier's. Some books she illustrated include Mother's Hero, The Musical Tree, Kiddie Kar Book, and The Luxury of Children and Some Other Luxuries.
Stilwell's work was influenced by Aubrey Beardsley and Art Nouveau. Her illustrations primarily depicted children, faries, fantasy characters, and women. Her figures often gestured dramatically and were placed within compositions to create sweeping lines and curves for overall decorative effects.
