About the Author

Miller Pope was born in South Carolina but spent most of his career
during the “golden age of illustration” in the New York advertising and publishing arenas, after getting his start on the Marine Corps’ legendary Leatherneck magazine. He studied figure drawing at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington, D.C., at the Art Students League in New York City. • Pope’s works have appeared on novel covers and in major magazines. He was elected to the Society of Illustrators in 1957.

With his wife, Helen, he moved south in the 1970s and worked to develop The Winds Resort and Sea Trail Plantation on the Southeastern North Carolina coast. His original illustrations and paintings are represented at the Sea Gallery in Ocean Isle Beach.
