George Wylie Hutchinson - self portrait, 1920

George Wylie Hutchinson (1852–1942) was a painter and leading illustrator in Britain and was from Great Village, Nova Scotia, Canada. He illustrated the works of Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling, Hall Caine, Robert Louis Stevenson and Israel Zangwill. He inspired the poem "Large Bad Picture" and "Poem", both by Elizabeth Bishop, his great grand niece.[1] Hutchinson was a contributor to and subject of the novel The Master (1895) by Israel Zangwill, with whom he was a close friend.[2]

Hutchinson left Nova Scotia at age 14, as a cabin boy.[3] He studied painting in London at the Royal Academy (1880–1885) and later painted portraits and created illustrations and cartoons for numerous publications such as the Illustrated London News. At the age of 44, he returned to Nova Scotia for a year in 1896 and taught painting.

By the 1910s and 1920s, Hutchinson appears to have been living in retirement in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex.[4]
