| Illustrator Robert Livingston Dickey was born on May 27, 1861 in Marshall, Michigan. His taste for drawing was formed early. As a small child, he was impressed by the skill of his maternal grandfather, a gunsmith, as he engraved bird dogs and hunting scenes on the lock and breech-plates of his guns. He kept working bird dogs and Dickey frequently accompanied him, not to hunt but to observe the dogs in action! His interest in animals soon extended to horses and he began copying from illustrated p (showing 500 of 2866 characters). |
