The unprecedented golden age of illustration in American history, between the era known as the Gilded Age and the dawn of World War II, an era of excellent book and magazine illustration, was the timely combination of technological advances and America's vast reservoir of native talent.
Popular magazines such as Century, Scribner's, Puck, and Life launched the careers of many aspiring illustrators, including Edwin Austin Abbey, Howard Pyle, Maxfield Parrish, Frederic Remington, Charles Dana Gibson, Rockwell Kent, and many others.
This collection features more than 230 reproductions of the finest pen-and-ink drawings by more than 100 artists during the heyday of illustrated magazines, from 1881 to 1938. In addition to images from popular magazines, this compilation features illustrations from newspapers and books, all capturing a broad range of expressions, both of artistic imagination and experimentation.
An insightful and informative introduction by American designer and art historian, Fridolf Johnson, traces the history and development of pen-and-ink illustration, chronicling America's rich, varied illustrative tradition and unique artistic heritage.
