FRANCIS GILBERT ATTWOOD 
 
 FRANCIS GILBERT ATTWOOD was born in Jamaica Plain, 
 Mass., on the 29th of September, 1856, and died on 
 the 30th of April, 1900, in the house where he was 
 born. He entered the class of 1878 at Harvard, but left 
 college at the end of his junior year and began the study of 
 art. The Harvard Lampoon was started during his sophomore 
 year, and his first work appeared in that journal. After leav- 
 ing college he studied under Dr. Rimmer and at the Boston 
 Art Museum. 
 
 Mr. Attwood's special bent was in the direction of humorous 
 satire, in which he was unequalled. He contributed, incidentally, 
 to several magazines, and he was also, to a limited extent, an 
 illustrator of books. But his principal work was done for Life, 
 with which he was intimately associated from its first number 
 to the time of his death. The series of drawings included in 
 this book is selected from the monthly historical pages he 
 regularly contributed to Life during his connection with that 
 journal.
