About this stamp:
An Attack on a Galleon, from the story "The Fate of a Treasure-Town" by Howard Pyle, Harper's Monthly Magazine, December 1905; Delaware Art Museum, Wilmington, Delaware.

This stamp is from the Classic Collection Series, which showcased the art of twenty American illustrators of magazines, posters, books, and advertisements. Howard Pyle (1853-1911) earned his reputation as the "father of American Illustration" by training a generation of influential artists at his highly selective school. Often illustrating his own stories, Pyle inspired readers with vivid depictions of history and legend.
