John Francis (Frank) Holme was a newspaper artist, chiefly in Chicago; he was the founder of the School of Illustration, Chicago and also founded the Bandar Log Press, 1895-1904, located successively in Chicago, Asheville, N.C., and Phoenix, Ariz.
Newspaper artist and printer of books.
Born in 1868, John Francis (Frank) Holme grew up in West Virginia, working first as a reporter and artist for the Wheeling Register. After two years with the Pittsburgh Press, Holme moved to Chicago and worked as an illustrator for several newspapers (Chicago Post, Chicago Chronicle, Daily News). Between 1895 and 1900 in Chicago, he founded The School of Illustration and the Palette and Chisel Club, held three exhibitions at the Art Institute with John T. McCutcheon and William W. Schmedtjen, and wrote twelve books of instruction for a mail-order illustration course. Holme is best remembered for his small press, the Bandar Log Press. By 1901 Holmes was ill with tuberculosis, and in an attempt to improve his health, moved with the press to Asheville, N.C., and to Arizona, near Phoenix, a year later. Here he illustrated and printed a small series of booklets called the "Strenuous Lad's Library," written by George Ade. In July, 1904, Holmes died in Denver, where he had moved a few months earlier.
