According to the National Gallery of Art, Thomas Willoughby Nason, [1889-1971], "was born and raised in Billerica, Massachusetts. After finishing high school, he held a series of business-related jobs and it was only after a brief time spent in France during World War I that he began to teach himself the art of printmaking. He made extensive use of the resources of the Boston Public Library as well as the Museum of Fine Arts and the local print shops where he could study the work of his contemporaries. Early in 1931, while living with his family in Reading, Massachusetts, he left his job to devote himself full-time to his printmaking. By 1935, his work was represented in the permanent collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the New York Public Library, the Baltimore and Cleveland Museums, the Library of Congress, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. Nason's work eloquently captures the New England countryside and vernacular architecture of his times. He worked in almost every type of graphic design including landscapes, portraits, bookplates, Christmas cards, trade cards, labels, personal and corporate marks and emblems, commissioned views of buildings, and particularly book illustration. His natural affinity for the character of New England made him an almost perfect collaborator for Robert Frost.".
