historical notes

Illustrator, art editor, collector and print dealer.
Holman was born on Prince Edward Island, Canada, and began work in the bookselling and publishing business in Canada.
He moved to Boston in 1889, where he attended Cowles Art School and studied with the painter Charles Woodbury. Holman traveled extensively and contributed illustrations and articles to various popular magazines and worked as art editor of New England Magazine and the Youth's Companion.
In 1915, he established a print department at Goodspeed's Book Shop, leaving in 1930 to open his own firm, Holman's Print Shop, where he was joined by his son, Richard Bourne Holman, who ran the firm after Louis' death in 1939 until 1977.
