About Frederick Coffay Yohn

  • Biography

    Frederick Coffay Yohn (1875-1933) Yohn's career focused on paintings and
    illustrations of military and frontier subjects. His style was set early, and his forte was accuracy of expression. At 23, in 1898, his illustrations were included in part of a touring exhibition "Story of the Revolution," and Yohn was credited as a star of the show.

    The same year the "Hero of Vincennes" was published by Lowell Thomas, and
    illustrated by Yohn, F.C. Yohn was designer of a 2-cent stamp issued in 1929
    to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of George Rogers Clark's victory over
    the British at Fort Sackville (now Vincennes), Indiana.
