J. M. Condé

J. M. Condé was an early 20th century "golden age" book illustrator and comic strip artist best known for his ink and watercolor illustrations for books by Joel Chandler Harris and Albert Bigelow Paine.

Condé worked in what is known as the golden age of American illustration in the early 20th century.

Condé illustrated the "Hollow Tree" books of Albert Bigelow Paine and some of Joel Chandler Harris's "Uncle Remus" stories, as well as books by Martha Strudwick Young and Aesop's Fables.

[1][2] From June to October 1906, the McClure Syndicate ran a Sunday color comic strip entitled Brer Rabbit (sometimes referred to as Uncle Remus Stories), based on Harris's stories and drawn by Condé.

"[3] Another comic strip from Condé was Aubrey of the Tenements (1904), which featured a cat named Aubrey and his nameless friend, a talkative and rude parrot who gets them both into all kinds of mischief after they move from the slums to an upper-class home.
