Books illustrated by Parrish no longer belonged to their authors, but rather they became “Parrish” books, just as a generic color became “Parrish Blue”. As a result of this ability to create such a sublime splendor, Maxfield Parrish became unquestionably the most successful and best-known American illustrator of the early part of the twentieth century. ~ Maxfield Parrish – National Museum of American Illustration
