Illustration Magazine #81

Description

On the cover and inside we feature the work of John Held, Jr., the legendary cartoonist/illustrator of the Jazz Age, best known for his depictions of the Flapper era of the 1920s. Next up, we feature the work of Howard Chandler Christy, known today for his "Christy Girl" (the successor to the "Gibson Girl") and for his iconic WWI military recruitment and Liberty Loan posters. In 1938, Time magazine called him "the most commercially successful U.S. artist." Book reviews, exhibitions and events, and more round out the issue!
