E A Poucher was one of those numerous, talented, prolific illustrators who put in decades of quality craftsmanship, then disappeared with little being known about them except their printed works. Poucher worked from the early 20th century into the late 1930s, often as a fashion illustrator, but also handled editorial work, advertising, and cover art. Illustrations could be found in American Woman, Good Housekeeping, St. Nicholas, Collier's, Ladies' Home Journal, The American Girl, Woman's Home Companion, as well as novels. Poucher's signature varied from "Poucher," to just "EP" in a circle or "P."
