## Biography

American painter and graphic artist. Receiving her training from the miniaturist Laura Hill \(1859-1952\), she first made a name for herself aged just 18 with her book illustrations. The English magazine Punch commissioned numerous caricatures from her. In 1895 she made her breakthrough as a poster artist. Reed worked almost exclusively for the publishers Lamson, Wolfe &amp; Company in Boston and New York.
