Truman W. "True" Williams (March 22, 1839 – November 23, 1897) was an American artist known as the most prolific illustrator to Mark Twain's books and novels. He illustrated the first edition of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and was thus the first to visually portray such characters as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. He was also sole illustrator of Twain's Sketches, New and Old and primary illustrator of Roughing It and The Innocents Abroad. Working with a number of publishers he also illustrated works by writers Bill Nye, George W. Peck, Joaquin Miller, and others. He was also a notorious drunk, which slowed his work and made him unreliable.

dbo:abstract
  • Truman W. Williams, dit True Williams, né le 22 mars 1839 et mort le 23 novembre 1897, est un artiste américain connu pour avoir été le seul illustrateur des romans de Mark Twain. Lors de la publication de Les Aventures de Tom Sawyer (1876), c'est donc lui qui a donné un portrait visuel de personnages tels que Tom Sawyer et Huckleberry Finn. Il se retrouve également dans Croquis nouveaux et anciens (Shetches, New and Old) À la dure (Roughing It) et Le Voyage des innocents (Innocents Abroad). Il travailla avec d'autres auteurs, en particulier Bill Nye, George W. Peck, Joaquin Miller. Ce fut aussi un ivrogne notoire, dont l'alcoolisme nuisit considérablement à son art, ce qui finit par le rendre peu fiable. (fr)
