On this day, April 14, 1890, Gerald Curtis Delano was born Marion, Massachusetts. After studies at the Art Students League in New York and at the Grand Central School of Art with Harvey Dunn and Dean Cornwell, Delano went west to experience life and settled there.  His western subject illustrations were in demand by many of the major magazines. Delano also produced comic illustrations for periodicals such as Life and Puck.
