Diana ThorneDiana Thorne was born in Winnipeg, Canada, in 1895, and studied art with William Strang. The author-illustrator of more than
forty books, her main assets toward success have been total dedication to her drawing and a deep love for her subject matter.
In her etchings of dogs she has the ability to show motion and action. A combination of whirling lines with solid lines and a
rendition of dark and light tones, brings to the viewer's eyes the Dog in motion. Thorne's dog etchings are admired because
they capture the humor and energy transpired by Man and Dog. Other than dog etchings, she is also known for a series of
sensitive etchings published in a portfolio, "The Human Comedy," done in 1928
