Katherine Gassaway
Katharine Gassaway designed postcards for Raphael Tuck, National Art, Rotograph
and Ullman Manufacturing Company from 1906 to 1909.
Much of Gassaway's work for Tuck is unsigned, but her distinctive style is
easily recognized.
Her children have big expressive eyes and very round faces. The style is
bold and simple with plain backgrounds. One Rotograph set, featuring children
of many nations, is highly collected, but most collectors underrate much of
her other work. Her signature is as stylized as her work, with carefully printed
letters spelling Katharine Gassaway surrounded by a rounded corner box.
