Maud Humphrey, Artist, Illustrator and Watercolorist (New York 1868-1940), was born March 30, 1868 in Rochester, New York to John Perkins Humphrey (DOD 1906) and Frances V. Dewey Churchill. Raised in the 3rd Ward an area of the Rochester elite. The pride of her prominent family origins is apparent with the use of her maiden name in the signature on all her art. She started drawing at a young age. Maud Humphrey was one of the most popular illustrators in America at the turn of the century. Unfortunately, through the years, Maud’s impact on American illustration was lost, until it seemed her only claim to fame was as the mother of Hollywood legend Humphrey Bogart. However, Maud’s role on the American art scene was as remarkable as any role her son ever played on stage or screen. Today, there is a resurgence of interest in Maud Humphrey’s work. It is a look at a young woman growing up in Victorian times and the limitations those times set before her. Maud went beyond the limitations to become an early suffragette; she maintained her art career even after marriage and a family. Many of her images grace the pages of her biography and bring her art to life.
