James Reid's first published work was a critical and commercial success, regarded as highly sophisticated and emotive. His second work, illustrating the Song of Songs, did not fare well in the declining depression economy. Reid later described lugging his canvases around NYC by bus in an effort to make a sale: "Those depression days were noted for threadbare soles, my shoes no exception, and following the accepted practice I would trim a piece of cardboard to fashion innersoles." He produced no other books and worked as a successful commercial artist for the rest of his life. [1907-1989]
