Harry B. Baker (1868-1941) was an illustrator who attended and later taught at the New York and Paris branches of the New York School of Fine and Applied Art (which became Parsons The New School for Design) in the early 20th century. Before moving to New York, Baker traveled around the American West illustrating bar fights, cowboys, Native Americans, and street scenes. The Kellen Design Archives collection includes photographs of Baker and his students, a letter from Frank Alvah Parsons, identity cards and papers, and illustrations by Baker, including one for the cover of Western Story magazine.
