Wallace Morgan

Wallace Morgan was born in New York and raised in Albany. He attended the National Academy of Design and began his career working at newspapers such as the New York Sun and the New York Herald. In the years before the first World War, Morgan was comissioned by Colliers to travel across the country and illustrate life in America. The third such trip was cut short due to the start of WWI, during which Morgan actively sketched his experiences in France. After the war Morgan acted between 1929 to 1936 as the president of the Society of Illustrators and 1945 adapted the novel Cluny Brown into a comic strip.
