Robert W. Chambers
Robert William Chambers was an American artist and writer born in Brooklyn, who studied art in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts and Académie Julian from 1886 to 1893, exhibiting work at the Salon.
Returning to New York, he transitioned from illustration to writing, producing his celebrated collection The King in Yellow, which remains his most enduring and critically regarded work.
Though he attempted further forays into weird fiction, his later career shifted toward romantic and historical novels, achieving considerable commercial success.
He married Elsa Vaughn Moller in 1898 and died in Broadalbin, New York, in 1933.
