            | Although E.M. 
            Jackson studied art as a child, he later went to college to receive 
            a degree in architecture from Georgia Tech. After several years, he 
            decided that what he really wanted to be was an illustrator. He 
            moved to New York City and, with the help of more established 
            illustrators, was able to make a living. Jackson’s graceful way of 
            illustrating women led to a number of story commissions as well as 
            cover assignments for such magazines as Collier’s, The Ladies’ Home 
            Journal and The Saturday Evening Post. |
