About this product

Product Information

This is a definitive collection of a legend from the golden age of magazine illustration. In the 1920s, America was the last stand of the Golden Age of Illustration and a time of tremendous social change. On one side of Paradise were the nationally known illustrators like Charles Dana Gibson, James Montgomery Flagg and J.C. Leyendecker. But rapidly growing in popularity were the young irreverent illustrators/cartoonists who worked for the emerging humour magazines Judge , College Humour , Ballyhoo and Life . Of these young ink-slingers, the one who came closest to capturing his white-hot age was a handsome man out of Omaha and Chicago named Russell Patterson. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Patterson didn't vanish after the Stock Market Crash in 1929. He just found new ways to keep his high style in front of a public desperate for light entertainment - in newspaper strips, magazine covers, posters, costumes and set designs for Hollywood and Broadway, amusement parks to WAC uniforms, all the way to the Atomic Age.
