*The English-born brothers William Austin Starmer (1872–1955) and Frederick Waite Starmer (1878–1962) came to New York in 1898. William billed himself as a “commercial artist” while Fred billed himself as an “illustrating artist.” In sheet music, they worked primarily for Jerome Remick. “Because each [Starmer] brother signed only his last name, it is impossible today to determine which created which covers. That said, scholars of their work suggest that the two created about onefourth of all sheet music artwork in the ragtime era. Their images usually include realistic looking people rather than caricatures ….” (Amundson, p. 168)
