James Monroe Vickroy (September 15, 1847 - October 14, 1913) was an American graphic artist. Born in Cumberland Valley Township, Pennsylvania, Vickroy started his professional life as a sales agent working for the M.C. Lilly Company of Columbus, Ohio, and sold ceremonial swords to secret fraternal organizations. At some point, Vickroy realized that he could take advantage of his talent as an artist and sell customized color lithographs to these fraternal orders. He married Elizabeth Enora Boor about 1875 and in 1876 the couple moved to Terre Haute, Indiana, where the first of their six daughters was born. Vickroy opened a chromolithograph business in Terre Haute in 1885, taking advantage of the at least 20 different secret societies and over 50 lodges to launch his business. He designed custom ledger books, certificates, and lithographs that he marketed to these societies, and by 1904 over 5,000 lodges used his Condensed Historical and Financial Ledger. Vickroy also designed genealogical charts, including 'The Afro-American History Record', which could be personalized. He also designed 'The Pictorial War Record', which was also meant to be personalized.
