His work was featured in 'Les Maitres de l'Affiche', the publication by Jules Chéret that showed prominent works by the 'affichistes' of the Art Nouveau movement. Turbayne was born in Boston, Massachusetts but spent most of his life abroad, first in Canada where he studied, and in England. He worked for the London County Council School of Photoengraving and Lithography and also for Carlton Studio. Famous among his contemporaries, and known principally for the ‘Peacock edition’ produced by Macmillan and Co. in the 1890s, Turbayne was hailed by critics as a ‘genius’. He won a bronze medal for book binding design at the Exposition Universelle (1900) in Paris.
