Maud Humphrey (1868-1940) was a prolific American commercial illustrator, watercolorist, and suffragette. Her charming portrayals of well-dressed, rosy-cheeked children became iconic during the Victorian Era. Humphrey’s work graced calendars, greeting cards, fashion magazines, and over 20 children’s books. She earned the moniker “Humphrey Baby” for her delightful child portraits. Advertising agencies featured her art in campaigns for Anheuser-Busch beer, Butterick Patterns, Ivory Soap, and more. Despite societal norms, Humphrey carved out a successful career, earning over $50,000 annually-remarkable for her time. Notably, she was the mother of actor Humphrey Bogart, whom she occasionally used as a model. Her legacy endures through her timeless illustrations.
