Front cover of Good Housekeeping magazine for 1932 with a little boy swept along by the craze for aviation.

Coerced into taking an art class that a relative was teaching, Wilcox-Smith was 20 when she accidentally discovered her artistic talent. Pursuing a formal art education, she went on to illustrate ads for "Ladies Home Journal." Wholesome and sensitive, her images graced children's books, magazine covers and ads for Cream of Wheat, Campbell's Soup, the Red Cross and Ivory Soap.
