Description

Thomas Allibone Janvier (1849-1913) was an American story-writer and historian, born in Philadelphia of Provencal descent.

Janvier received a public school education, then worked in Philadelphia for newspapers from 1870-81.

Janvier went to New York in 1881. Few years after arriving, he published the Ivory Black Stories, tales of artist life, which were reprinted in book form in 1885 as Color Studies.

In them he pictured the life and color of what was then considered the Latin quarter of the city, with the old-fashioned French restaurants, the artist colony to the north, and the studios in Tenth Street where Abbey, Millet, F.

Hopkinson Smith, Laffan and others made the Tile Club famous.

He published many stories and articles in Harper's Magazine.
