Kerr Eby (1890-1946)
He was born in Japan in 1890, the son of Canadian Methodist Missionaries. After their return, the family lived in several Canadian towns before 15 year-old Kerr, having worked as a printer’s apprentice at a local newspaper, moved to New York City to become an artist. He took art classes at Pratt Institute while working for a lithographic firm to help cover his tuition and living expenses. These expenses soon overwhelmed him and he returned to Canada (showing 500 of 4291 characters). |
