Joseph Michael Gleeson (1861 – September 26, 1917)[1] was an American painter and illustrator. He is responsible for the only painting of the life of a thylacine and her cubs, from the National Zoo's specimens in 1902.[2] He co-illustrated one of the earliest American editions of Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling.[3] Some of his works are now considered paleoart.
Gleeson died on September 26, 1917, in Ashburn, Virginia.[4]
