Arthur I. Keller

Keller eventually gave up work for newspapers and magazines to provide book illustrations for authors such as F. Hopkinson Smith, Thomas Dixon, Kathleen Norris, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, and Jeffrey Farnol.

He illustrated A Christmas Carol (Dickens), (The Virginian (Wister), Kate Bonnet (Stockton), The Right of Way (Gilbert Parker), and the stories of Bret Harte.

His work with Dixon providing illustrations for The Clansman have been cited as inspiration for the uniforms of the Ku Klux Klan.

[4] The originals of the illustrations are in the Thomas Frederick Dixon Jr., Collection, John R. Dover Memorial Library, at Gardner-Webb University.

Arturo Alfonso Schomburg was among the first to recognize a resemblance between Ku Klux Klan uniforms and the capirote worn by the Brotherhood of Seville.
