Louis A. Holman
Louis A. Holman (1866–1939) was a Canadian-born illustrator, author, and influential print dealer based in Boston. After moving from Prince Edward Island to Boston in 1889, he studied art at the Cowles Art School under Charles Woodbury and began contributing illustrations and editorial content to publications like New England Magazine and The Youth’s Companion. In 1915, he launched the print department at Goodspeed’s Book Shop, later establishing his own business, Holman’s Print Shop, which became a prominent destination for collectors and scholars through the mid-20th century. A recognized authority on printmaking and the life of the poet John Keats, he authored and curated numerous books and exhibitions on etching, engraving, and antique maps. Holman remained active as a writer, lecturer, and print scholar until his death in 1939, and his son Richard continued the print shop until 1977.
