Autorenporträt
Oliver Herford (1863–1935) was a prolific Anglo-American writer, poet, and illustrator, known for his humorous and whimsical verses. Born on December 2, 1863, in Sheffield, England, Herford moved to the United States in his early childhood. He attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and later studied at the Art Students League in New York. Also, a graduate of Harvard University, Herford made significant contributions to the literary and artistic scene of his time. Best known for his witty epigrams and droll illustrations, Herford penned numerous books, including 'Cupid's Cyclopedia' (1910), a playful and satirical take on love and courtship that showcases his characteristic blend of humor and erudition. His work was often compared to the likes of Oscar Wilde and extended to theatrical productions, contributing to the emergence of American light verse. Herford's literary style incorporated light-hearted rhymes and clever wordplay, making his writings accessible and enjoyed by adults and children alike. His illustrations graced the pages of prestigious publications such as Harper's Weekly and Life magazine, and he was often referred to as 'The American Oscar Wilde.' A member of the literati that included personalities such as Edith Wharton and Ethel Watts Mumford with whom he collaborated, Herford left an indelible mark on the early 20th-century literary landscape through his engaging and imaginative works. He passed away in 1935, leaving behind a legacy of delightful contributions to the world of poetry and illustration.
