Stone (former student of Frank Duveneck and Gustave Bouguereau) and in 1884, went to Paris for his early art education, studying at the AcadÈmie Julian under the supervision of the academic artists Gustave Boulanger and Jules Joseph Lefebvre. In 1893, Dow was appointed assistant curator of the Japanese collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston under Ernest Fenellosa, who introduced Dow to ukiyo e, the woodblock prints of Japan, which greatly influenced his later works. He accepted commissions for posters and other commercial work. In 1895, he designed the poster to advertise the Journal of Modern Art and in 1896, he designed the poster for an exhibition of Japanese prints.Over the course of his career, Dow taught art at a few major American arts training institutions, beginning with the Pratt Institute from 1896 to 1903.
