Philip R. Goodwin

Philip R. Goodwin (September 16, 1881 – December 14, 1935) was an American painter and illustrator who specialized in depictions of wildlife, the outdoors, fishing, hunting and the Old American West. He provided illustrations for numerous books and magazines, as capably as for advertisement items, such as posters, advertisements and calendars. He is perhaps best known for illustrating Jack London's The Call of the Wild and for providing the lid art for many issues of Outdoor Recreation / Outdoor Life Magazine during the 1920s and to the lead 1930s. He is also the artist who expected the Horse & Rider Trademark of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. Goodwin was a entirely private person and did not point publicity, so not much was known not quite his private energy during his lifetime. Most of what is known comes from letters held at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center.
