Welcome to John R. Neill's Online Gallery
8-18-20 NEW update... My cousins, Lee Townley, Arden Edwards, Dickie Edwards, and Kitty Neill are selling a few pieces from their mother Natalie's collection. Natalie was our grandfather's eldest daughter. Specific contact information is on each offering. ENJOY!
Greetings! I am one of John R. Neill’s granddaughters, Jory Neill Mason. I started this web site 15 years ago after my mother died. (Annrea Neill, John's middle daughter). You will see beautiful sketches, finished pen and inks, and full color illustrations by our grandfather.
John Rea Neill illustrated thirty-nine of the forty “canonical” Oz books. Certainly, Oz remains the best-remembered part of his work. This includes the four editions he also wrote, The Wonder City of Oz, The Scalawagons of Oz, Lucky Bucky in Oz, and The Runaway of Oz (later illustrated by Eric Shanower). Yet some of his best work was done for other books, periodicals, and newspapers. You will find some rare pieces that have never been seen by the public.
If you are interested in a work of art from my dwindling collection, please email me, Jory, directly at jorysm@sprintmail.com. I hope you enjoy your visit.
Sincerely,
Jory Neill Mason
"Only recently has Neill slowly been recognized for what an extraordinary illustrator he was and maybe one of the finest of his generation."
