Ellison Hoover was an American illustrator notable for his atmospheric prints of black & white rural & urban landscapes complimented by ghostly details that leave room for the viewer's imagination to wander.

Hoover then went on to work for many newspapers and magazines including The New Yorker, The New York Herald-Tribune, Life, and many more.
