William Starmer (1872-1955) and Frederick Starmer (1878-1962):  The Starmer brothers were born in Leeds, England.  They came to the United States in the 1890s.  They had “a consistency that was hard to match in creating eye-catching cover art that did justice to and often outshined the contents within.  By some accounts they were responsible for nearly a quarter of all signed covers in large format from 1900 to around 1919, and continued producing cover art into the 1940s. Through publisher Jerome Remick’s sheer volume of distribution, their work is in many ways the face of the rag-time era at its best.”                            (www.perfessorbill.com)
