An Alphabet of Animals

I couldn't find much reliable information on the web about the Scots-Canadian illustrator and painter

 Carton Moore-Park (1877–1956). According to different sources he may have been born in New Brunswick

 or the Hebrides, and studied under the direction of Francis Newbery at the Glasgow School of Art. 

Moore-Park specialized in animal subjects, and his artistic style was strongly influenced by Japonisme. 

In 1910 he moved to the USA, where he separated from his wife and had a relationship with, and maybe married, 
fellow artist and renowned dog painter Diana Thorne (a rather interesting character in her own right according 
to this article, complete with lots of mysteries and gossip). Anyway, if my dates are correct, Moore-Park created 
the lovely and whimsical illustrations for this alphabet book when he was only 22, which I find very impressive...

Moore-Park wrote and illustrated a variety of children's books centered on animals, including

 King of the Beasts, Biffel - A Trek Hox, The Wonders of the Insect World, The Children's Story of the Bee, 

Our Dogs, The Fables of La Fontaine and A Book of Birds (available online at archive.org).
