James Reynolds

Harold Warner Reynolds, simply known as James Reynolds, or also with the nickname Jimmy (October 22, 1891 in Syracuse, New York – July 21, 1957 in Bellagio, Lombardy), was an American writer, painter, illustrator, set designer and costume designer.

When James Reynolds died in Bellagio in 1957 there was some confusion about his past: his place of birth has been indicated by several sources in New York, Virginia and Ireland. He was often confused with the illustrator named James Warren Reynolds of 618 N142d St in New York and born on October 22, 1894, in Warrenton Virginia, with James Walter Reynolds (1884–1956), pulp magazine illustrator or even with James Elliott Reynolds (1926–2010), a fine Old West art painter.

He was buried in the Municipal Cemetery of Bellagio.
